You cannot access NSFW content from third party apps, such as apollo, without logging into reddit.com and changing a setting. If the goal was to remove porn, then just enforce higher moderation standards. Removing porn from the API doesn't give the impression of "we want to make the site safer to use", it's communicating "if you want your smut, use the official app so we can blast you with ads". I have my own qualms with the "protect the children" argument that everyone hides behind for their distaste of porn and this is why; it's never about protecting children; it's about controlling other people. If you view reddit's motivation as driving people towards to the official app where they can be monetized, then these actions make the most sense. If you delude yourself into think they are doing this to protect children, then why are they acting so inefficiently? Reddit already has precedence for banning crude subreddits.
