NSFW Reddit is No More
Just a few minutes ago, I noticed reddit dropped nsfw.reddit.com. If you haven’t already, you can read a loooong thread about it posted 13 days ago here. Why did they kill NSFW Reddit?
- Lack of community compared to regular reddit.
- It was never intended for porn: “Our intention for nsfw.reddit was for adolescent humor that, when on reddit itself, was causing users trouble at work. Unfortunately, it quickly degenerated into porn.”
- NSFW content scares away advertisers: “Unfortunately, having NSFW material available on a site means that it gets blocked by many filtering programs/gateways.”
- “unrestrained fake voting from sockpuppets” - Probably because most NSFW surfers’ hands are too tied up to cast a vote, so posters vote for themselves to fatten their bottom line.
What a fine example of users steering a Web 2.0 site in a completely wrong direction. Anyway, if you are dying for a nsfw.reddit replacement, you might want to check out MoSexIndex, which btw, I’m not affiliated with in any way whatsoever (thus, the nofollow).
Meanwhile, Adam Lasnik is doing some detective work right now trying to nail down the weird site: bug I posted a while ago.
