So, they’re doing this because the images constantly get flagged and reported on other social media. It doesn’t seem that hard to let users set a NSFW flag that determines whether they’re ok with nsfw content in their feed. Doesn’t Reddit do this?
It's probably that and it's great marketing TBH. They could have just posted them on their own site or another palace that allows NSFW images (Reddit, Twitter, etc). But they probably also knew that a story about an art museum opening an OnlyFans is going to be fantastic marketing.
Reddit uses the NSFW flag as bait to get you to sign up for the app. Any time you click on a link to such content, you are told have to install the app to see it.
Maybe this is a mobile only thing? I can view NSFW content on desktop (both old + new reddit) while being logged out and logged in without a prompt to download anything.
Thanks I'll have to try that, I think I've only ever used it on my phone. I recently encountered that app-wall and had even googled how to get around it and couldn't find any information on it.
I mean i actually get that…you don’t want random casual viewers accidentally seeing graphic images. Even an NSFW tag (which in reddit is often abused on definitely not-NSFW content) won’t deter them.
IMO as long as reddit still has those images, even if they’re behind subreddits which proclaim “WARNING: SEE AT YOUR OWN RISK”, that’s good enough.
In certain countries having a specific flag come up on your reddit feed is dangerous. So NSFW applies to things like that too. I agree with your opinion on how reddit deals with NSFW issues.
Twitter does. Facebook and therefore instagram have the "no female-presenting nipples" rule, and you're not allowed adult content even though they know you're an adult.
