/r/interestingasfuck forced open, lowers its standard of what qualifies as "interesting", gets flooded with adult content [NSFW within two clicks] (www.reddit.com)

NSFW 90 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I think the title speaks for itself.

EDIT: UPDATE: So apparently the former r/jailbait mod that is The CEO purged the sub’s mods and forced the sub to re-reopen under the old rules.

Mission failed! We’ll get them next time!

EDIT2: aaaaaaand the sub's archived and no longer accepts new submissions. The garbage fire keeps going....

Same. I never subbed to pornographic subreddits, so when I saw a lady broadcasting her breasts on my front page, I had to do a double take. And then I made this post here xD

Lol, I keep reddit just to enjoy the massive porn tsunami that will flood every subreddit.

The sub is now /r/InterestingANDFuck. I'm sure this is worse for Spez than the John Oliver sub changes, which I also approve of. Everyone knows advertisers love NSFW content being just out there for anybody to stumble upon.

Edit: Forgot an "ing" in the new sub name.

'interesting as fuck' sounds a lot different to someone from India

Oh. my. god. That is hilarious! Looks like other subreddits are joining in on the shenanigans too hahaha

[–] pjoter@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

This is hilarious.
Waiting for mem with r/spez saying "wait no, not like this"

The worst thing for Reddit is that they don't advertise against NSFW content. This has major revenue implications for Reddit.

[–] aku@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

probably leaving Reddit for good soon...

I wonder if all this malicious compliance is also gonna screw with all that AI research people were interested in doing, if all the topics have essentially shifted....

I love how Mods Tell they are "forced" what is reddit gonna Do otherwise? Dont pay them?

Oh wait....

[–] Mintyytea@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I do think if they open with malicious compliance, it’s better than if they open with moderators that wanna replace and wanna do their best to keep the sub going
