That's fucked up. What there reasoning behind that?
I think it went like this:
Mods make thier subs private in protest
Mods get threatened to lose mod powers if they dont reopen thier subs
Mods reopen thier subs but only as nsfw subs
Admins decide to intervene by disabling nsfw
Admins accidentally (or on purpose idk) disable nsfw on porn subs
To add to that, if a sub is tagged as nsfw, there are no ads (to not scare of advertisers). Some sub mods indirectly invited users to post porn, so they became nsfw subs by protest.
It was great thinking IMO. They just care about the advertisements and investors. They don’t care about who will watch what content.
