Totally not suspicious timing at all.

Also if you’re willing to visit reddit, the comments under the post are great. They’re not fooling anyone.

      I almost can’t believe it. Now they’re just like Twitter, gotta log in to view the shit you want.

      They didn’t “review” subs when there was one using images of children as child pornography, without the subjects knowledge or consent.

      They didn’t “review” subs when mask-off, far-right extremists moved in and started trading slurs and writing murder fantasies.

      They didn’t “review” subs when reactionaries were spreading dangerous and clearly false medical misinformation in the middle of a pandemic.

      But they’ll review subs when those subs might be a threat to their revenue.

        Actually, Spez personally reviewed a subreddit rife with child pornography, r/Jailbait. Everyone seems to forget that Spez is actually a pedophile.

        I’m pretty sure that’s just the standard message they show when you attempt to view any nsfw content on their new site.

            Right, but give your users free reign to draw whatever they want pixel by pixel and it’s going to quickly become nsfw. I know reddit sucks and all and I’m not trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. I just don’t think this message is the conspiracy theory everyone thinks it is.

              Not exactly a conspiracy theory to predict that a company that has been routinely unethical might be unethical.

      Spez is one of those people who still find Elon perfect and infallible despite everything. It’s worse though, because he has the power to change things.
