Because the feature would never get any traction otherwise. There's zero demand for this feature. Which makes me wonder why they're pushing it so aggressively.

Privacy features like this should **absolutely** be opt-in.
Reddit's policy is to display your nudes without telling you (but you can opt-out when you find out).
