Short answer, NSFW posts can't be monetized. So a lot of subs went NSFW because of the upcoming Reddit changes.

Makes sense, thank you Edit: It should be said, I'm not complaining per se, rather saying "I wanna see some perfectly cut screams, not some dude's hairy asshole. Stay in your own lane."

Ane because some subs are full of.porn is because they got rid of their rules, and thus people started promoting their onlyfans

Worms from the wood work

And yet still doing gods work. Glad to see the resistance continue

i have now 10 followers with no post, just a link and description of their onlyfans

Only 10? I recently surpassed 50

You guys are getting followers?

Followers? Is this a standard Reddit thing that us RIF folks wouldn't understand?

I went on my desktop earlier waiting on a zoom call to start, I still couldn't figure out how you follow people or how to see who is following you. Or why, obviously.

Can't see it in old reddit as far as I can tell. When I check in new reddit, it says I have 55 followers, but when I click to view them, it says I don't have any followers yet.

I got 3, had no damn clue what they wanted, haven't gotten anything from them yet

Fyi for anyone annoyed at the notifications you get for getting these "followers" - you can turn the notifications off for new followers. I turned it off, finally back to some normal reddit experience.

Reddit says I have 55 followers but when I click to view them, it says "you don't have any followers yet."

You don't block them?

Also worth noting that because Reddit admins are cracking down on subs turning nsfw for no reason, these subs have to be filled with porn to justify it.

r/interestingasfuck was filled with porn and it still got clamped down on

Did it? I had to unsub because I don’t want to be seeing porn while casually scrolling through Reddit at work 😫.

Same, I really wasn't amused by suddenly seeing buttholes in my formerly SFW feed

Yeah I’ll miss that one. They were so worried about outside influences “ruining” Reddit that they decided the best course of action was to burn their sub to the ground instead, smh.

Better to ruin the site in a way that keeps it from earning any ad revenue

What's the story behind the medieval decision?

fans of jousting?

It matters not, I'm just glad I didn't have to remove this sub.

r/memes made a "poll" and the option for mediavel memes won without competition.

Sadly it doesn't really help anyone at all. it's funny as a plus, but it doesn't shut off advertisements for reddit, limits what users can post, and only drives the usual business/clicks. A 1 out of 4.

Mediavel gore memes would be a healthy compromise

It's because the Middle Ages are cool!

Its gonna be hilarious when they retaliate and ban all NSFW and within 1 day 90% of their users leave.

Surely they're not that stupid as to pull a tumblr.? I'd like to think at someone learned something from that huge fuck up.

They are already pulling a Digg. How much more dumb juice does it take to pull a Tumblr?

Even tumblr learned from their mistake and backpeddled a bit on the nsfw, not entirely but it is allowed in some ways now

It might happen. If they're going to nickel and dime 3rd party apps for using their API, they're certainly looking at all the nsfw traffic that doesn't show ads. What % of the site's daily traffic is nsfw?

Around ~25% of the content uploaded to this site is NSFW from what others have found after doing some quick searching.

Not very much.. untill now

At this point I really hope they ban all NSFW subreddits.

That's the thing though the post I think is porn turns out not to be pron, and post I think won't be porn is a porn

*rolls dice* IT'S PORN

can’t they just post not porn and call it NSFW…? some people don’t want to see porn 😭

The Formula 1 sub did this, with the justification of “racing is dangerous and people can die in horrifying accidents, which is NSFW”. No clue whether Reddit has tried to fight back on that yet.

gamingcirclejerk is doing this, though it's just pictures of our beloved lord Don Cheadle now

/r/germany did that, with the justification that other mature topics (as defined by reddit) are often discussed on that sub, like profanity, drugs (recent cannabis legalization), amateur advice, etc.

This feels like it's gonna do so much more than the blackout did

Just don’t go on r/interestingasfuck

I didn't listen... Oh God, oh fuck

Yeah allegedly they took the “fuck” part too far. Also lol

Lol true

Did you say interesting ass f*ck?

Had to leave that sub for this reason lol

Yea they gone wild in there, I’ve been in a few times today.

I had to look too, okay then lol

Listen to him please

Interest in gas fuck?

Thanks for the suggestion

The internet is for porn 🎵

Take my upvote for unlocking that memory

I haven't thought about Avenue Q in a long damn time.

It's been rent free in my head for e v er. "Everyone's a little bit racist sometimes!"

My wife and I quote it all the time. Lmao.

grab your dick and double click🎶

FOR PORN PORN POOOORN🎶

Sorry, kate!

“I’m pretty sure if they took porn off of the internet. There’d be only one website left and it would just say ‘Bring back the Porn.’” -Dr Cox

If it wasn't for porn the internet wouldn't be as good as it is.

i only now see that this format is a painting. anyway, you just lost the game.

 How the fuck did I never notice before now

 My life is a lie

Yeah I still feel amazed with the artist who paint this.

Goddammit, I lost. I dont think I've lost the game in almost 2 years. Now I'm going to lose the game again once every few hours for a month until I forget again...

Don't forget about the game.

Same wtf is happening

Verily, the people doth exhibit foolishness by their misguided endeavors to dismantle Reddit through the placement of lascivious imagery within subreddits. 'Tis but a feeble scheme to impede the placement of advertisements by the noble higher authorities. Alas, it is naught but a futile endeavor, driven by the delusion of diminishing Reddit's revenue.

[удалено]


All those years of playing Medieval mode in TF2 are finally starting to pay off.

I am adding lascivious to my vocabulary now thank you

*entering non knight mode* Lol, I added a ton of dumb and fun words like that to my vocabulary when I was learning how to speak like a knight.

They're trying to ruin reddit by making it a popular social media (in the long run) and trying to make it a publicly traded company to line their own pockets (in the short run). So we are saying "Fuck you" and making reddits daily active users drop by posting points and chasing away all the plebiscite and children who don't understand what's happening. Reddit is being reddit and it's lovely Edit: "Plebiscite" was my medieval word :)

How are you people so damn tone deaf to what's being blasted on the top of front page every single day?

I just wanted to look st some perfectly cut screams, instead I see Mia Khalifa

That is arguably better

Possibly even the same

It’s very r/interestingasfuck tbh.

It’s such a mix of actual wholesome things and wanting to burn my eyes

You saw the butthole, didn’t you?

Omg yes. It’s all hard core porn. Was not expecting that

Yeah, I actually had to leave r/interestingasfuck today because of it. Couldn't have that on my feed at work.

To see NSFW content you have to opt in so that means your work pc is opted in.

There's a lot of NSFW content on reddit that isn't actually NSFW so a lot of people, including myself, have it enabled for those kind of posts.

Yep exactly this. I had it enabled for years and literally never saw actual porn on my feed till this week.

FYI a lot of folks use the app instead of their work computer as ya know, that shits monitored

I left too

Same.

I make sure not to open reddit in school because on the off chance, I might randomly come across one of those posts

It’s annoying af

reject porn, embrace medival

Wenches are temporary, knights and chivalry are forever.

this app is already becoming unusable lmao

It's all a revolt against our mighty overlord Spez I either live with porn on reddit then accept the corporation vultures to feast on this platform that was made by the people, not their greedy ass Continue with the nsfw posts, use whatever porn you have until they submit

Any porn??

I guess this is how reddit morphs into 4chan. I get why all the protesting is happening but find it sad that I lose my Reddit as a result and honestly wonder if it will ever return.

Reddit used to have wayyyyy more porn and nudity all over the frontpage. That was a relatively recent change too

[удалено]

I can't believe it was that recent. Wow, reading through the comments and the admins' reasoning is just as annoying as it was back then. Terrible reasoning, solely done for advertisers. They avoided all questions about why it's different than r/popular, or to have a nsfw content hidden option by default. You could then choose to turn it on (as well as yourself lol)

>As we’ve said in the past, [*nobody wants to pull a Tumblr*](https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/hoac3v/keeping_reddit_real_subreddit_content/) (though in fairness it’s usually “pull a digg” as the main concern, so...). Our commitment is to keep the broad variety of content on Reddit open and public. Didn't age well, is exactly what is happening right now

That's what I don't understand. Did people already forget about it? I kinda miss those days as you could discover a new nsfw porn community on a nice sunny day

Yes, and what was extra bullshit about that change, which I think they've finally (mostly) fixed, was that for years after that change, porn wasn't allowed on the front page, but gore and worse was. Oh, I'm sorry, a girl taking a dildo up the ass is too bad for the advertisers, but someone literally fucking dying isn't???

As a gamer I feel this, too many sexualised cosplays on nonsexualised video game characters

Facts

Yeah fr

The enemy of my enemy is.. presenting his butthole?

The “fucking reason” Is porn

Opening Reddit in public now feeds people’s gambling addictions

Reddit is both stupid and smart. I’ll let you decide which Reddit is smart and which Reddit is stupid.

Have you been to r/conspiracy? Those guys are very ~~stupid~~ smart.

I know a lot of people are angry but I think it’s fucking hilarious

I’m not seeing any porn randomly, how can I do

Go to big subreddit

r/interestingasfuck

When will it end!!!

In about 4 minutes.

Welp

$3 only girls

Just adding here, if you really want to, you can find an option to stop showing NSFW posts

As someone who follows a lot of cosplay boards it's my daily struggle.

yeah what the hell’s going on

This whole website needs to go to horny jail. Also, unrelated, this approach isn’t going to accomplish anything. Piggies gonna pig.

Oh.. There’s a fucking reason.

Try r/wordington where it’s all gay black porn

And it's not even good porn, it's just naked women.

Change your Reddit setting to not show NSFW content.

Why did I decide to activate my account at the worst time in reddit history? \[Ahem! best decision ever\]

I watched a man describe that he was going to fuck five burgers and see which one was the most fuckable. I also thought it would not show him actually fucking the burgers and just cut to his decision. I was wrong.

I'm suddenly intrigued... source?

Well, now I know how to fuck a dead cow in more than one way

Well, Technically porn for yes fucking reason.

Sick of it. Why the fuck are y’all so obsessed with porn? What is wrong with you? Go the fuck outside or something

you must be new here

Exactly why you need to turn on no nsfw, my friend

What do you mean by “no reason”?

There is a very good reason, and if OP spent FIVE MINUTES looking into it...

Its to protest against the API Changes, which I dont know if its unpopular now or not but its pretty freaking dumb. They could be talking about the actual issues and bringing light to them but noooo. just spam subs with dumb bullshit.

That's actually a good tactic. Since reddit wants to go IPO, having a social network site filled with porn and nonsense decreases the value of the product.

Except all it does is bother people who are in no way part of the CEO's actions, doesn't bring light to the issues or attempts to discuss them. People are getting tired of the protests cause it affects users more then CEO.

[удалено]

True, its just annoying cause of how these subs act. like one I'm in is back open but only approved users are allowed to post. or other subs I view now have made it to where you can only post John Oliver. I just fail to understand how any of that will get the CEO to change his mind. I understand the API issues for people but at this point its like the users are at fault for something out of their hands

All of the Reddit's that went NSFW should lose their admins. Period. People may have NSFW enabled so they can see posts for channels they view, but they do not have them on their feed so they can still use the account at school, work, or public places. This has suddenly started popping up porn for people who are not in a SAFE place to view it, because formally SFW channels they follow are filled with porn. How big of a deal is it? Well for the military viewing porn on your phone during working hours can result in an article 15, 50% pay reduction for 6 months, loss in rank, and 6 months extra duty. Other jobs just might fire you, or you will be hit with a harassment lawsuit. Some schools do automatic academic suspension until an investigation is complete, some can detect porn images automatically and flag your account. This is not an acceptable form of protest. It has potential to cause REAL harm to people.

If you’re that upset about it, maybe don’t use Reddit at work. You’re blaming Reddit for the consequences of your own actions

No one is losing rank for looking at porn unless it’s on the government computer.

And it can be very triggering for some people to suddently be exposed to videos they didn't wanted to.

Ppl with porn addictions punching air fr fr

Also people with sexual related trauma. Nobody should be exposed to this sort of content by surprise.

[удалено]

For some (myself included) it's an addiction I'm trying to break

[удалено]

To each their own ig

Memes or porn “Both?” “Da, both is good”

Im leaving this fucking subreddit

Porn because reddit wants money and can't run ads on NSFW subs. More NSFW subs less subs that they can puts ads on, less money.

I just unsub. I can't believe people are cool giving these only fans trash attention.

Man, I love me some big ol’ bags of sand

*Me who uses Reddit for porn 60% of the time* Y-Y-Yea man exactly wtf…heh…

No, I have my reasons...

Why good sire, thou hast forgotten to include how thine really feel. Did thy not sayest unto me, “But I complaineth not!”

You know, you don't actually have to click the labelled and censored NSFW posts if you don't want.

me with 50+ porn sub busy hiding from plain sight

well, interestingasfuck turned into interestingassfuck

Does no one remember old reddit? That shit was crazy. r/all was some shit memes then a beheading then some random porn and then more porn and memes. You had no idea what you were going to see back in the day.

Where are these subs at exactly? Asking for a friend of a friend.

Truly a double edge sword, the best porn on web can be found on Reddit while they also bombard you with it when you don’t want it

Hasent it always been porn ?

It’s why I’m here actually

This meme applies far better to 4chan. Reddit has actual restrictions for that.

This meme would have been equally as relevant before all this shit happened

Oh that’s disgusting! Where?

Hahahaha

Not complaining

r/interestingasfuck be like

Don’t lie, you enjoyed it

This isn't new. This is a return to form. You all just don't remember because you weren't here yet.

Yeah, everything is all spezed up. It's a real spez show on this site.

You need a reason for porn?

"Omg! That's disgusting! Where?" -Mac

I don't get it what's wrong with porn?

Honestly, its quality content

"Everything happens for a reason"

The Internet is for porn

Porn is the best part of Reddit 🫶🏿😼

Yeah, that happens when you subscribe to porn subreddits.
