308 comments at the time of this writing, and no one has talked about the fact that -- given the relative user counts and traffic -- all of normal subs are just a legitimacy-conferring facade over the NSFW content? Reddit is the largest non-MindGeek porn site on the internet. I would guess that the revenue from this side is what makes the whole thing work.
- wrinkl3 6y agoReminds me of Tumblr. I wonder if it'll have to do a similar crackdown if new legislations get passed.
- TechBro8615 6y agoWhat revenue? I'm pretty sure NSFW subs don't have ads.
- TheRealDunkirk 6y agoI don't have any inside information, but I've always guessed that this is how Reddit makes most of its money: paid manipulation of the allegedly-organic page composition. You DON'T think that the various *hubs AREN'T paying Reddit for placement for their clips and have links to the full video?
- Anon1096 6y agoHonestly, I have no idea how the New York Times took issue with Mindgeek over child porn on PornHub, but failed to ever mention Reddit. Reddit is the single largest child porn distributor on the Internet, and the nsfw subs are a ticking time bomb just waiting for a horrible media expose to be written. I'm sure in the meantime though they're a major driver of traffic so Reddit will act willfully ignorant.
