View submission: Removing sexually explicit content from r/all
Fun fact, r/nsfw is our oldest subreddit by far, with a creation date of 01/20/2006 @ 3:49am (UTC). We created it several years before we really had a notion of subreddits for the *same* reason as the change here: there was a single feed (what eventually became r/reddit.com in later years) and it didn’t make sense to have a pile of news and porn.

When you hover over the "a community for 15 years" thing, it says Jan 19 2006 20:49 GMT+1 ?

When was /r/popular ‘s creation date and why did you take away the only difference between it and all? And simultaneously remove any easy way to find new NSFW subreddits.
Oh way, corporate shilling. Guess the advertisers are more important that the users. Why don’t you just make a new /r/all that has nsfw, put it somewhere useless like popular was, and then change the name of the neutered /r/all you just created?
Also, where are you polling users? Let’s see this data you collected that shows users overwhelming wanted this change.

/u/KeyserSosa why has there been no replies to the posts asking about /r/popular or an option for those that do want to keep /r/all as it is?
Quite unprofessional to just answer those that post in favour of what you are adding, and not adressing the other side of the coin.

it didn’t make sense to have a pile of news and porn.
Except it does, because people truly want to see ALL, unfiltered, not some ad friendly curation. This shit is facebook now.
The disconnect you have from your users would be considered remarkable if it wasn't for the obvious advertising dollar incentive behind this move.

Update: it’s well after the timeframe for this and I’m still seeing NSFW posts on /r/all

r/nsfw sucks though. It's insanely vanilla and boring, just a bunch of regurgitated pictures of models, not really any of the raw amateur stuff or any new communities to browse. And its not like some giant conglomerate of all of reddits great nsfw material, its just bleh.

"Fun fact," this is a stupid decision and a pathetic attempt to pander to your advertisers instead of your (previous) fan base.
