That's not what happened. T_D was hardly the only subreddit that disabled upvotes with CSS (which prevents you from clicking the button on the old.reddit desktop version.. nothing else).

Furthermore, most of Reddit's traffic is mobile, where CSS has no functionality.

Why not just remove them from r/all?
