That's exactly what they're doing, is it not? They're providing opt in controls for the less savoury content:
> Similar to NSFW, another type of content that is difficult to define, but you know it when you see it, is the content that violates a common sense of decency. This classification will require a login, must be opted into, will not appear in search results or public listings, and will generate no revenue for Reddit.
And the few subreddits that incite abuse are getting shuttered. I feel that's more than reasonable.
