View submission: The history of the /r/xkcd kerfuffle.
That might sound like a nice idea, but you'd be fighting against copyright and trademark law, as well as opening up to libel issues. Any company or individual with the will to do so could take control of their subreddit, otherwise legal bills would quickly sink Reddit. The balance to this is that if they turned an active community into a mouthpiece for propaganda, they'd destroy all the value the community generated for their products. Subreddits can exist quite happily and support a product - for an example of this check out http://www.reddit.com/r/cocacola[1] which Coke would be foolish to pursue as it's praising them.
