Based on some of the comments in the now NSFW subs, it looks like there is a pretty serious edge case that reddit does not handle: setting the sub to NSFW retains subscribers. Does that not mean that people may end up being delivered NSFW posts without opting in?
@ulu_mulu I feel this will end with nsfw just flat banned on reddit or possibly a mass purge of moderators and an attempt to reign in the wild west this sets up for the new moderators. Though certainly a kick in the wallet for reddit
I mean, those are both Really Bad Things TM for reddit so we should be hoping they do that.
My first thought was that this would just result in a site-wide nsfw ban as well. If that’s the outcome, good. How’s that’s worked for other websites? I fully endorse forcing them to shoot themselves in the foot.
There were more than 20 thousands mods participating in the blackout, good luck replacing them all, tho entirely banning NSFW content is a possibility.
Apparently Reddit is now switching these new NSFW subs back to being SFW.
My current view of Reddit is that I hope they crash and burn.
Easy solution is to switch it back and organize with users to spam porn on it when it’s switched, and keep up the momentum. Either the admins have to shut down the subreddit to clean it up - which hurts their bottom line, they are unable to keep up - which hurts their bottom line - or they switch and breach contract with advertisers - which hurts their bottom line
New plan:
Everyone spam pictures of anuses to demonstrate what assholes reddit are being.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding this, but with subreddits going NSFW, it means that the content won’t be displayed in 3p apps only? Seems like this will help push users to the official app?
The way I understand it, is that advertising money is not put into NSFW content on the site, so by making every big sub NSFW they are effectively punching reddit in the wallet and trying to make their IPO fail.
