They recently made it impossible to view NSFW-flagged content from a logged-out session, which makes me wonder if they're struggling with it too (this may also be a geo-restricted thing, I'm visiting from a UK IP address).
- kredd 3y agoAh, interesting. To be fair, super-majority of users on mobile are already authenticated in the app, so I don’t think it would be any loss. I guess, maybe for people who don’t want to be tracked about their NSFW browsing. Still curious how Twitter was a pass, but Tumblr/maybe Reddit are no go. Maybe the way ads are being shows when there’s NSFW content?
- jstarfish 3y agoI'm not convinced it has anything to do with ads. The redirect isn't necessary to just not show ads for Kibbles N Bits on bestiality porn subreddits. It does have two other effects though: - Inflates registered user count, which is useful ahead of an IPO - Maps very niche porn habits to individuals, to way finer degree than your PornHub favorites/history. I don't know of anybody reselling this sort of data, but also don't work in this space.
