Obvious? Why are we talking about this still? Access was ~~terminated~~ pay walled almost a week ago.

Sexually explicit content was still available through the paywalled API until yesterday.

I am surprised any 3rd party clients remained connected for that to matter.

It takes a while to get major changes like this to make it's way to the live branch. If this didn't hit at the same time as API costs, then that likely means there was a bug preventing the restriction on nsfw content
