View submission: Removing sexually explicit content from r/all

For now, yeah.

This is a first step to allowing for more capabilities to filter content on r/all[1] and other listings that many people may (not) want to see.

Because this is america, where tiddies are bad, and people dying in horrible ways is good

I think it's just a "the customer is always right" thing. Optimistically, we're the customers and there have been vocal complaints about this issue for many years. Realistically, advertisers are the customer and one of them didn't like porn appearing alongside their ad.

Given that it would have been trivially easy for them to make this a toggle/choice instead of a forced thing, it's probably the latter.

No, we're the commodity that's being sold.
