    NSFW subs protesting will do nothing but help reddit. I’m sure they wish it didn’t exist at all on the site.

      They should start pivoting to content that reference’s spez’s time a the mod of /r/jailbait. Like pictures of cheese in jail cells or police vans with “/r/jailbait mod applicants” written on the side.

        Which is exactly why it’s so fucking weird that they explicitly allow 13 year old children to have reddit accounts in the ToS.

        If I was an enterprising clickbait journalist, I’d be going all in on the “reddit’s gradeschool to onlyfans pipeline” right now.

      I heard u/spez the CEO, moderated r/jailbait, which upon research is a now defunct sub that specialized in questionable images of questionable age that should have been illegal. I could be wrong, but that is what I heard.

        At the time anyone could be promoted to mod position without their consent. He did not ask for it, removed himself from the position as soon as he saw he had it, then not too long after you had to accept the position of mod. However, fuck u/Spez.

      NSFW drives a ton of traffic to Reddit. Just look at Tumblr: they collapsed after they chased away NSFW.
