View submission: Removing sexually explicit content from r/all
You are correct, it's one of the first things discussed with r/popular

I'm assuming popular hasn't been as "popular" as they wanted it, even though they direct logged out traffic there.

If it's not popular, doesn't that mean people actually want NSFW stuff in their feed? It's not rocket science.

Also, the mobile apps (which a ton of people use) encourage you to use r/popular — you have to go out of your way to get to r/all. So this change feels even more confusing.

I think that a big issue here is that the Reddit mobile app is set up to use r/all, where it should instead be a choice between r/popular and r/all. That should have been an easy change.

R/popular doesn’t seem to work well in filtering it. You still come across a lot of material that should be caught (from obvious NSFW subs etc). I agree the easier way would be to update the settings.
