The bug is that its probably overloading their site, and/or pushing

I think this position is silly. If HTTPS everywhere says no to
reddit's request, the site will just make it not work. Then users will
be even _worse_ off, since at least people can manually go to
pay.reddit.com while reddit gets their https upgrade done.
