Reddit admins removing the NSFW tags from subs with porn in them : reddit

This is great watching the drama from my new "home" here on kbin. I'm so happy that you all are here too, giving me tons to read.

Is it though? It kind of feels like you broke up with someone but are still getting constant updates about who they're currently fucking the minute you left.

I guess that's some people's kink.

It's more like watching them post about how bad a date went or hearing about how they got kicked out of Wendy's.

I haven't subbed to any reddit related magazines/communities here but they pop up on all. I do think it's probably healthier for people and this platform to move on. I do get why people still want to hear about shenanigans.

That's fucked up. What there reasoning behind that?

[-] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I think it went like this:

Mods make thier subs private in protest

Mods get threatened to lose mod powers if they dont reopen thier subs

Mods reopen thier subs but only as nsfw subs

Admins decide to intervene by disabling nsfw

Admins accidentally (or on purpose idk) disable nsfw on porn subs

I don't think it's possible that they could have handled this worse

Never underestimate the power of greed and stupidity. They can handle this worse. The NSFW subreddits are difficult if not impossible to monetise. Reddit is also one of the biggest providers of porn on the Internet. It'll be interesting how they resolve this conflict. I suspect that's when handling it worse will kick in.
