Reddit decides to start more chaos than rDrama ever could. If they kill off third party clients it's going to turn into Instagram and make power users seethe.

So they want to force people to use the official app? I dont even want to know what a giant pile of shit that thing is, reddit literally hasnt had a positive UI/UX change since introducing subreddits.
The redesign is completely cancerous, Switching to the old design is the only way you can even read comments properly without constant pop-ups for accounts and shit.
Its hilarious that a website coded by an aquatic rodent in his spare time is easily ten times as functional as reddit ever was.

Reddit still won't let you submit a post of an image + text simultaneously. Either it's a text post with link to image added, or image post with a comment giving context.
Supposedly you can do videos, too. Nobody is quite sure how.

Shit, i think accessing all links here through baconreader is the only reason my accounts don't get fingerprinted and banned. If i need to pay a couple bucks a month to cover the api cost, so be it

With reddit's history, porn is unironically one of their least problems. Place is crawling with more pedos than Groomercord
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Pedos at least try and hide so Reddit can take a pretty passive approach and still seem reasonable to investors, the feds, and the public. Also Reddit isn't going to face much backlash by banning pedos, coomers on the other hand will riot.
So yeah, pedos are a problem, but it's a problem they can easily solve without destroying the platform.

But they still have porn and aren't suggesting getting rid of the porn (yet). You can still search any depravity you want and find it using reddits search or google. This seems to just be about excluding it from the api?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
They are trying to be gradual so people don't really notice, they want to avoid a digg situation. They started with "violent" porn, then porn featuring characters with an "underage appearance", then also removing NSFW from search results unless you log in, and now this.
It's honestly quite clever with how vague they made the rules; except for the fact that a big chunk of traffic is
s and this is only going to strengthen other platforms for images and gifs. It's why a bunch of 
s and shitposters moved to Twitter, they tend to follow each other.
The only successful pivot I can think of is reddit focusing on long form reasoned content, but lol, that's not happening unless they clean house.

Exactly they need to clean house, which I only see happing if investors sell to a private buyer with an interest in social media; basically another Musk. The absolute meltdown if someone like Larry Ellison buys Reddit would be hilarious.

You can easily bypass this by going to a nsfw sub and clicking past the 18 or older pop up. Then you can enable nsfw search results. On old reddit at least.

why do investors hate money? the coomer audience will always be bigger and more willing to spend money than asexuals
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
They have no problem funding sin industries, they are just aware that almost all of Reddit's revenue is from advertisers who don't like NSFW content. Also you can't get children to use products from sin companies, not unless you want the feds to get involved. Minors are vital to building a moat and turning users into lifers.
Also investors tend to dislike investing in porn specifically because most users are fairweather and don't have a strong attachment to the brands. How many people would have a branded piece of merch from a brand like Nintendo, Ford, or McDonald's, contrast that with Pornhub merch. Customers don't want to be associated with porn brands and thus don't form the unhealthy dependencies investors love (at least not at the same rate).
