View submission: Announcing an Update to Our Post-Level Content Tagging

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.

This isn't true, back in the day all subreddits would show up on r/all, even the most hateful and disgusting subreddits on this site did.

I used to moderate /r/Games and we were the very first subreddit on reddit to opt-out of r/all. Our head mod 'Deimorz' (an ex-admin and creator of /u/Automoderator) did it for us before the experimental feature was even available to the public.

So a couple things, sure so let people control it on their preference page what they can see and can't see instead of trying to control their selection.

Second, I'm fairly sure you are wrong, opting out of r/all was introduced and added on later. If I'm remembering correctly sometime around ~2016.
