Reddit supposedly does not receive ad revenue on posts that are nsfw, so some mods are changing their subreddits (that are forced to go public) to nsfw and loosening up rules. Hence, the Pornhub logo design
Some mods are doing the bare minimal due to the questionable attitude of Reddit CEO/admins. As long as the topic sort of match, it will not be removed. i.e. r/iOS, as long as it is upload from iOS device, it is consider as legit post, which of course results in a lot of NSFW content. Another is r/steam, which is now a sub for steam train, steam buns, steam vegetable, etc and etc
While I absolutely love the playfulness in upending a sub’s theme a la steam, ultimately reddit probably won’t care much. As long as they’re getting sellable engagement, the topics are almost irrelevant.
I do think the subs going hands-up on moderating might be more effective. Because if you just leave the doors wide open, you’ll get flooded with bots and porn. Bots and porn for days.
Can you explain the meme pls? 🙏

Thank you for context, I wasn’t browsing reddit for some days now
just to be safe, don’t do it at work, school or in front of grandma/grandpa
