It makes me laugh that reddit's mobile site will let you view NSFW content but wont let you go to the contents of a NSFW post without downloading the app or signing in.

Reddits main function as a porn facilitator will really hamper its desire to make lots of money as a publicly-traded business.

My understanding is they're actively working to minimise NSFW communities in lede to the IPO.

It’s funny they’re still pushing it after Tumblr, and also considering 5ch.net always had the NSFW part in a different domain(not subdomain). It’s as if everyone knows and some always knew…

The NSFW content feels like its just ads for OnlyFans accounts at this point. The NSFW subs suffer from the fate that all the other subs do, Reddit is too large at this point to cultivate any real, organic community.

My experience is that subs subdivide themselves at some size to become fractaly specialized. Like dnd 5 optimizers, dnd5 powergamers, dnd5 roleplayers, and when those get too big, dnd5 players that like to optimize wizards in the ravenloft setting while listening to lo-fi. There is an obligatory xkcd but I can't be bothered.
