View submission: Opt out of followers, front-end improvements to Reddit search, and an experiment to inspire new communities

some redditors will begin to see a prompt encouraging them to create a new community about a popular post

This is still a bad idea that will just lead to an explosion of poorly-run subs

Yeah, I’ve gotten the prompt a few times and the posts it shows on are definitely not the types of posts that would make for a good subreddit

Agreed.

Admins, why? It's already leading to subs that are abandoned. See /r/ff14giveaways
