I wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit pulled a tumblr and banned porn and other NSFW content and just made it a site wide policy that nothing can be NSFW.
I'm pretty sure that was the plan all along.
Yep, they can attract more investment if they don't have "icky" content for prudish investors to worry about. Forgetting that it's a huge reason the site is popular.
I recall seeing some info coming out about porn and other stuff but after Tumblr and that shit show I figured they would be less likely to go forward with it or have some watered down policy that bans it but some things still get on the site anyways.
I think there was a post saying that nsfw subs now just have some message saying that you need to use the official client to view content.
