r/Pics is doing a new poll to divide their fate, the are 3 options:

  • Continue allowing only pictures of John Oliver looking sexy.
  • Allow any media of John Oliver.
  • Suspend all of /r/Pics' subreddit-specific rules.

They're just gonna set the sub on fire!

I say they go NSFW to prevent advertising

That's what they would do if they're /r/PICS ("Posts Illustrating Community Sentiment").

Reddit admins have said they won't allow subs to become NSFW if they aren't actually NSFW. But "Posts Illustrating Community Sentiment" can be anything, even outright porn. And of course, the good moderators at /r/PICS would never allow outright porn without properly marking their subreddit as NSFW...

They will have to if they allow any post that doesnt break sitewide rules.

Which makes it impossible for every third party app even the ones paying the ridiculous API fees, to display content as everything NSFW is only available on Reddits own webpage or App. (Or at least that’s what I read, but I couldn’t find the post anymore, so if anyone happens to have a source…)

Which is a win for the cause of making people quit Reddit, if that's the preferred option.
