The point of the John Oliver pictures is to make it hard for him to NOT at least spend a segment of his next show talking about it.
I think it will have the opposite effect people want. It will drive traffic to reddit to see the funny pics, it wont suddenly stop the masses using reddit, a garbage experience has to occur for that.
It might get a short bump in traffic, but I don't see traffic increasing on the longer term because of this. And it certainly does spread awareness while also reducing advertising value.
