Reddit uses the NSFW flag as bait to get you to sign up for the app. Any time you click on a link to such content, you are told have to install the app to see it.

Maybe this is a mobile only thing? I can view NSFW content on desktop (both old + new reddit) while being logged out and logged in without a prompt to download anything.

Thanks I'll have to try that, I think I've only ever used it on my phone. I recently encountered that app-wall and had even googled how to get around it and couldn't find any information on it.

Yeah, they are very sneaky with their methods.

Replace www.reddit.com with old.reddit.com or i.reddit.com.

Not sure if it works with NSFW, but they've recently taken to app-blocking everything and it fixes at least that.
