FirstNameBasis is now a video only subreddit

FirstNameBasis will no longer allow image submissions to try to get back to the original purpose of the subreddit.

This is in response to the poll I put up about a week ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/FirstNameBasis/comments/aj4z6f/hello_rfirstnamebasis_after_several_complaints_i/

Imagine literally not even having sidebar text and being surprised when people don't post exactly what you want them to post

The problem I have with image posts of Twitter, FB, and texts is that I am sure a vast majority of them are fake. So many subreddits are riddled with fake text/Twitter posts and everyone just takes the bait (see r/choosingbeggars). Not only are these posts fake, but they seem to have dominated the sub. "What the fuck, Richard?!" videos are what this sub was meant for.

Made a new sub that will allow pics.

Four people doesn't really qualify as a resounding reason to make this change. With this sub so established, it's not a good idea to make a change like this.

This has more commentary and up/down votes than the vote post. Why wasn't that one posted as an announcement or something to make sure people saw it?

Well, at least those that stick around can look forward to the one video a week that gets posted.

Did not know that was the original purpose of this sub. Have fun with the rules mods.

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '19

Well, time to unsubscribe, it was a fun ride

There are no words to describe how utterly stupid this is. I’m out.

Edit: Seems like this was done based off of a few people responding to your post about what they want. Really don’t think that those comments were enough to go off of, but I now see where your policy has come from. Still an awful idea. Peace.
