Yep, they can attract more investment if they don’t have “icky” content for prudish investors to worry about. Forgetting that it’s a huge reason the site is popular.
I recall seeing some info coming out about porn and other stuff but after Tumblr and that shit show I figured they would be less likely to go forward with it or have some watered down policy that bans it but some things still get on the site anyways.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit pulled a tumblr and banned porn and other NSFW content and just made it a site wide policy that nothing can be NSFW.
I’m pretty sure that was the plan all along.

I think there was a post saying that nsfw subs now just have some message saying that you need to use the official client to view content.

I have a feeling they saw what happened to tumblr. They’re not stupid…
Ok they’re stupid, but they’re not that stupid… yet.
I dont think Spez cares about reddit at this point. He wants to IPO and cash out so he can hand it off to someone else to deal with.
I’m hoping that is the outcome of this, would be very entertaining to watch
They will likely ban NSFW content before they IPO.
