For better or worse, /r/badphilosophy has re-opened
Really, it was the headlines of Google's AI Overview pulling Reddit shitposts that inspired the return. If Reddit is going to sell its data to Google, then, you know, maybe flood the zone with sludge?

I'll head in later and post badly!
Makes sense. AI and bad philosophy go together like negative peanut butter and chocolate.
Oh you didn’t know? It’s much better than that. Were it not for /r/badphilosophy, /c/sneerclub simply would not be!
Of course, like the Basilisk herself, we should have had to invent it anyway, but it is with /r/badphilosophy that the soul of /c/sneerclub descends from the heavens to find its place in the grim corporeality down here
Since Google has a deal with Reddit I'm sure they have a whitelist or blacklist for subreddits. There's no way /r/shittyaskscience is given the same weight, if any, as /r/askscience despite the responses being of similar structure.
"Surely Google will make a smart decision" is a hill surrounded by corpses.
