Reddit demands moderators remove NSFW labels, or else

> However, in screenshots of messages between r/PICS and Reddit seen by The Verge, Reddit said that the wiki page is outdated (the last edit was made four years ago) and pointed to a different page, also titled Reddit Content Policy, which doesn’t define rules for NSFW.

This might sound a bit dramatic, but this once again shows just how far Steve Huffman has gone off the deep end. A few years ago it would've been unimaginable for Reddit to, as a policy, simply refuse to say what the platform defines as NSFW so that it can be applied completely arbitrarily. Even if this is not a rare phenomenon in itself, the blatantness is staggering.

> The sky is blue (except when it's not).

The unfortunate truth is that Reddit owns the platform and has an irrevocable license to the content that's already been produced.

Any protest that someone can think up will end up just getting Reverted as Reddit can just kick out the mods.

They'll get backlash, but that doesn't seem to be stopping anyone.

You know, they could just, you know, lower the cost of the API, create strict guidelines on how to get an exemption, and understand where the actual value of their platform is.

Too much to ask for an VC funded company though.

reddit once offered users who were the first to send a postcard from a country a month of gold. I wonder if they still have that wall of postcards.

So remove it and add it back in.
