content: I disagree, restrictions are not necessarily a bad thing: if a popular sub is too generic it might hurt the subs that are more specific, people will just post on the popular one to benefit form a bigger crowd making the less popular and specific sub a ghost town.  This isn't quite the case with /v/videos and /v/politics since they're quite close in popularity, but rules and restrictions help to mantain a certain balance and if there's a rule you should just deal with it and post on the more appropriate place.
