All good points. I think it's simply, when in doubt, what's gonna take less time/work to be dealt with. That's every company's view of their scope of operation. That being said, if they just took off thumbnails and allowed it to be entirely linked to, sorta passing the buck, would this be such an issue internally for reddit? Granted I understand thefappening was clogging the site and such, giving a bad name, but in all honesty, that sort of breaking news/cutting edge information becoming easily apparent is why we all come to reddit.

We come to Reddit to see what's good with the interwebs today (or 6 times a day). It just so happened, heavenly but supposedly illegally obtained photos were what's good on the interwebs for a good period of time there. Now that we know, I guess it's up to us to (reluctantly) find a new place where we can be kept informed and in the loop, no? I really don't wanna have a just celeb nood site that I go to aside from reddit, so I guess in the end, because I'm not seeking it out, I have been inhibited from encountering these types of supposedly illicit photos ever again.
