Something big is happening, as Reddit seems to have purged literally every NSFW sub they know. Reason is always "unmoderated" despite some of the banned subreddits being fully moderated.

I see they're following the Tumblr model:

  • Get bought at overinflated values.
  • Ban all NSFW content.
  • Users leave and seek NSFW content elsewhere.
  • Valuation plummets.
  • "Actually, moderating NSFW is really hard you guys. We're just going to try best efforts moderation only."
  • Sell at near total loss.
  • There is still NSFW content on the platform, and the policy is used as a cudgel against LGBTQ accounts.
