Source: comment thread in r/interestingasfuck stating that it has now become a ‘porn sub’. It only for nsfw because they also do malicious compliance.
The list of maliciously compliant subs that reopened is inspiring
- /nofans (previously a nsfw sub) now dedicated to air cooled PC
- /shitposting now banning all posts with the letter “k”
- /horny (obvious what this was) is now a Christian Minecraft server
Ahhhh, democracy.
as fun as all this is, it’s counterproductive.
Right now it’s only giving spez a lot of extra traffic from people wanting to be creative and people wanting to see the shit storm. If people keep enjoying literal subs with shit posts, he doesn’t care as long as he gets traffic and users before the IPO
But if the sub is NSFW there aren’t any ads shown. So it’s really a lot of traffic, but no income.
My only hope this that this goes hand in hand with deleting posts prior to this. Leaving them up leaves them on Google and people can still interact with them.
r/piracy was forced to reopen and thier mods say reddit gave them an endorsement for digital piracy hahaha & https://infosec.exchange/@nazgul/110567606843018903
Doesn’t all this activity help reddit though?
In the short term, people will come by to lollygag. In the long term, there’s only so much John Oliver anyone wants to see in a day, so traffic to those subs will likely fall.
Honestly this is trolling Reddit and i love it, destroy the point of the sub, go absolutely literal. And I’m here for it!
