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.

I think the options were this or the mod gets removed and "normal" operations resumes.So I prefer this.
The ad revenue boost is going to be temporary, obviously. A. Subreddit that just posts vacuum cleaner pictures is not going to maintain people's interest.
Any investors with two brain cells to rub together would see that Reddit is not in a healthy state with subreddits doing these things. So if they are looking to sell, this will do a lot of damage.
