I believe the point they are trying to make is Reddit is tying access to pornography to installing the app, thus making an explicit connection between porn and their app, while Apple bans apps featuring adult content from the app store completely.
- ascagnel_ 6y agoThat ban has been leaky for a while -- HBO & Cinemax have carried pornographic content for decades, yet both have apps in the App Store. On top of that, you could buy HBO & Cinemax directly from Apple before the launch of HBO MAX earlier this year.
- barbecue_sauce 6y agoIt’s a stretch to call anything on HBO or Cinemax pornographic.
- 310260 6y agoI dunno. Cinemax had the reputation of being "Skinemax" for a while. They've moved out of the business though.
- bigbubba 6y agoCinemax at least shows content that is softcore erotica by any definition. Though from what my [dead] sibling comment says, maybe they no longer have this sort of programming.
- ascagnel_ 6y agoFrom looking over their Wikipedia entry, it looks like Cinemax has backed away from adult content, but the last time I was a subscriber (around 2016/2017), their app had a less-than-obvious "late night" section buried in its navigation.
