So the insidious actions here are that certain subreddits are going to be manually reviewed, and marked as safe for large advertisers based on the absence of objectionable content. And reddit has yet to make a public announcement on this.
Cool? Seems like a sensical approach to monetization for me.
- paulddraper 8y agoChoosing where to have your brand is really basic advertising stuff. --- That said, it's a little weird to have a global NSFB tag. Safe for what brand? NRA? Ben & Jerry's? NFL? Chick-fil-a? Planned Parenthood? Hooters? Disney? Communist Party USA? It further coalesces a division between universally "acceptable, popular" and universally "unacceptable, unpopular" thoughts.
- freeone3000 8y agoThere is already a global "nsfw" tag (applied per-post) for users to flag content as potentially objectionable. I don't see this as a huge step beyond that conceptually, it's the same thing with a different purpose.
- paulddraper 8y agoBut NSFW has a very well-understood definition: obscenity/gore. Obscenity is even a matter of legal interest and gets tried in court. NSFB is really, really mushy. It's a matter of marketing interest.
