Wild. I wonder how bad reddit will be in a few years. If you think it's bad now, It's not even publicly traded yet, and we've all seen how money grubbing being a publicly traded company can become. "Make line go up no matter what" 👀

NSFW is going to get banned within a year or two. It would be irresponsible towards the share holders not to, because porn lowers advertising value.

old.reddit is probably going to be on the chopping block, too. I only go for niche communities these days, but I'm gone for good once old.reddit is gone.

That's the plan. They announced it laqt year as the same time the api stopped to be free.

If they keep the porn, Texas Governor Abbott will block Reddit from Texas. Well, losing the MAGAts might help Reddit get better.

It won't help with their bottom line tho

Reddit can just ask Russia to create more bot accounts.

Which is one of the only good reasons to still go to the site
