Yep, and with more intrusive monetization comes stricter content controls. Once Reddit bans NSFW content -- which is "when" not "if" at this point -- it's going to lose its relevance as a platform.

What's up with the markets disliking NSFW content? I thought sex sells…

I would rather invest in reddit with NSFW content allowed than in reddit with NSFW content banned.

No company wants to see a screenshot of their ad above someone being buttfucked while dressed up as some anime character

I don't see why though. I would gladly advertise there, the people who watch that content wouldn't think less of my brand.

Even then, why not just turn the banners off on NSFW posts?
