This is correct. This article is reddit-approved propaganda. People were not shown nsfw content without their consent until reddit admins removed the subs' nsfw status and set them back to sfw. This article also doesn't account for the fact that subs' own users voted to change the content of the subs, and then reddit claimed that subs must remain open and available to the users who have formed communities on them. The communities decided they wanted a different type of community, and reddit said no.

I wish people would stop working for free for this multi-billion dollar corporation so they'd actually have to pay for moderation and not get to profit off of the free labor of its users.

Very few magazines unfortunately are accounting for the fact that everything mods are doing now was voted upon by the community, spez is spreading a lot of propaganda.

I too wish mods would quit moderating altogether, there were more than 20 thousands participating in the blackout, imagine how much it would cost reddit to replace even a small part of them.
