not to mention the NSFW purge. Like it or not, that was a HUGE part of reddit's success.

    I hope they purge piracy, roms, emulation. Currently that is a huge valuable resource, and getting rid of that might lead to those users coming here. Those types of contributors are the ones who add value with their content.

    Wait what did they do to the NSFW subs? They were still active when I was banned a few years ago

    they removed the r/nsfwrandom search string, and banned hundreds of the NSFW subreddits due to "lack of moderation." You can still go to many of them, (that remain) but you have to actively punch the subreddit into your address bar, and then you can only link to other related subreddits through the Subreddits' own link list (which is only up to date if you're lucky). Searching for them is still possible but access is a crapshoot due to the aforementioned subreddit bans.

    What? I remember years ago when making maps of Reddit community connections was all the rage. On the maps weighted by posts and subscribers, it looked like Reddit had a sizeable NSFW section. On the ones weighted on traffic it looked like Reddit was a porn site with some other special interest forums.

    They killed off the old ones by timebombing the subs with strict requirements for activity. They started complying with takedowns, which nuked wide swaths of NSFW reddit. The death of gfycat was another sudden and massive removal of content.

    The NSFW part of reddit didn't go away though. It's transformed into OnlyFan spam. So it's not really porn. It's redlight district ads. Hot local girls want to meet you!
