I wonder if this is coming up now because of changes like removing porn from /r/all. They're introducing an age-rating system and filtering porn from /r/all, which was one of the intended purposes of /r/popular. [0]<p>reddit is trying to make their platform even more palatable to investors and advertisers. I just wish they were honest about it.<p>> But there's another aspect that's empowering. And these are people sharing stories of themselves, pictures of themselves. And we are perfectly supportive of that."<p>This is such a horseshit take I know he doesn't believe it. Porn is a commodity, and he's hosting one of the largest (for him, free) repositories of pornography that he leverages to try to make money. "Empowerment." please.<p>I really dislike the way reddit's leadership is trending. They're becoming less and less honest about why they're doing things. Take a look at this post full of corporate doublespeak nonsense. They're removing the option to disable their clickjacking and ad tracking and claiming it's intended to "reduce user confusion."

How is it that Pornhub comes under scrutiny for under-age pornography by 'unverified' accounts, but Reddit and other sites don't have real counter-measures?<p>Remember the Reddit 'Jailbait' and 'Creepshots' scandals? Those should have been big wake up calls for them to wise up and crack down on the rest of the site, as they're obvious avenues for under-age abuse.
Reddit has a huge problem with exposing pictures of people that never gave permission.<p>And I'm not talking about just nudes. Take the "Karen" meme where people just grab their phone and start filming any public outrage moment for the posse to jump on and ridicule.<p>Or even stuff like "Saw this guy on the train, lol" where obviously said guy was not aware, and didn't want to end up on the internet.<p>I still don't understand how this is legal, I would hope in the future there is some countermeasure against this.
Little offtopic question:<p>How do apple & google app stores allow Reddit & Twitter, if you upload apps with pornographic content links in it they ban out instantly?<p>Is there some other guidelines to be followed or I am missing something?
Reddit will warn you if a community allows NFSW content, then it will warn you again when you are about to see something NFSW.<p>Many subreddits do not allow NFSW content and moderators will ban your contributions if they violate their community rules.<p>NFSW stuff is pretty much an opt-in experience at this point, and that's fine.
I feel like reddit used to be used to be an amazing social media platform where you could connect with strangers and learn so much, find tons of interesting discussions where people acted fairly civilized. It was basically the complete opposite of twitter. Many online/worldwide trends also seemed to be born there. If you went on reddit, you were ahead of the curve. You knew what was going to become trendy months before anybody else had even heard of it.<p>However, the management has shown a ridiculous lack of transparency, and they've just kept making the user experience worse and worse. It makes me sad. Reddit is an amazing resource, and the people who run it are basically shitting on a goldmine. It's like they're hell bent on destroying their asset. Is it because they fundamentally misunderstand what they have? Because they don't care? Because they're greedy, or just plain incompetent?
Advertisers should get over themselves and advertise on 18+ content. We're adult animals. We know what's what.<p>Millennials give zero fucks. We grew up on the Internet.
I don't know what category is exactly falls under (favoritism, etc), but other apps on the app store are banned because user generated content can be pornographic (not pure porn apps either, similar to reddit with porn subreddits), but reddit viewing apps don't seem to have this issue. Maybe the apps don't allow you to access that type of content
"Niemand hat die Absicht, eine Mauer zu errichten."<p>I predict they will "ban" pornography within a few months after such a statement.
Given their record I give it 6 months to 2 years until they ban porn. It's a shame that they sold out so thoroughly, especially since they gave up on the project and left, then came back when it had succeeded without them.<p>C'est la vie. I am happy that the first decentralized forum is finally taking off and working well with a simple click and install interface: <a href="https://getaether.net/" rel="nofollow">https://getaether.net/</a>
First of all, I'm not against porn, but most of reddit porn isn't empowering people, it's selling onlyfans or posting women against their will. Google is complicit with so called revenge porn as well. If you disagree, explain why they have crawlers indexing and doing facial recognition on porn sites that have an absolute buttload of revenge porn shit, like xhamster, 4chan archives, and motherless. It's a fucking travesty, and pornhub was just the tip of the exploitative spear, later reddit will ban porn unless it's verified, because the ny times or wapo will post an article about a dozen women being victimized by revenge porn on there.
