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.

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
