View submission: Announcing an Update to Our Post-Level Content Tagging
Eh, I think that's a very generous understanding of what Reddit is doing here.
Automated tagging isn't a requirement for any "real world" consequences, particularly when they've already done things like not allowing NSFW material on r/popular and removing it from r/all (now making it not r/all but that's besides the point). Keep in mind they have user specific filters and content controls already they could be utilizing.
If much more likely to be related to making reddit more advertising friendly and IPO friendly to minimize the NSFW content wherever possible.

Aside from the advertising and IPO, app stores have fairly strict requirements about showing people NSFW content they didn't specifically opt into.
Also, r/all has never been r/all. Plenty of subs, even very large ones, have opted out of r/all and don't show up anyway.
