The Subreddit WellThatSucks has changed their rules so it's now only accepting vaccume cleaners
People conforming to the letter, but not the spirit, of a request. For now, this includes text posts, images, videos and links. Please ensure that the “malicious compliance” aspect is apparent - if you’re making a text post, be sure to explain this part; if it’s an image/video/link, use the “Body” field to elaborate.
======
We ENCOURAGE posts about events that happened to you, or someone you know.
We ACCEPT (for now) reposts of good malicious compliance stories (from other platforms) which did not happen to you or someone you knew. Please use a [REPOST] tag in such situations.
We DO NOT ALLOW fiction, or posts that break site-wide rules.

Malicious compliance, love it!
This kind of hilarity is why I started using Reddit back in the day. So it might be helping Reddit as well.
Hmmm, good point. On one hand, this amusing stuff could be bringing people back to Reddit and boosting the level of engagement just through people showing up to take part in shows of, well, refusing to take part.
On the other paw, though, if these things last then people may eventually get bored and stop showing up. Are enough people that vapid that they'll come by day after day just to say "wellthatsucks" and post a pic of John Oliver? Hopefully not.
If they are, then... sigh
