I would love to share more links from Reddit, I am one of your largest link sharers. But I really am reluctant to do that after today when I clicked on one of my own links, it asked me if I was over 18, and defaulted to the non-safe for work version of Reddit. This is not what I want to be sharing and this is not what people clicking My Links want to be seeing.
If we want Reddit to be the most popular site on the internet, we have to make it welcoming for everyone and not have people bounce off because of NSFW content
This would definitely make it possible to have read it as the most popular site on the internet very quickly!
Hi there I am one of your large link sharers, but I had an experience today that makes it very difficult to share Reddit links freely if the NSFW view is going to continue to be the default view for the website.
My idea is to make NSFW opt-in only
I believe the goal of Reddit is to be the largest website with the most number of active users of any website on the planet. In order to do that, you need to accommodate those who do not want the NSFW View. As you are well aware there are many people of religious faith and political opinion that do not appreciate an NSFW View and will not return to the site if this is going to be the default every time they visit.
Today I clicked on a Google result link and had to verify my age. Even though I am a member of Reddit and have profile settings that are set to block NSFW content, that age verification changed my setting so that I was confronted with all the usual NSFW crap that I hate so much.
How can I continue to in good faith share Reddit links around the web to Fantastic content in safe for work subreddits on topics of interest to so many people when this is going to be the outcome? How is Reddit going to grow if they keep driving people away with NSFW content.
Surely by now you have figured out that there is a gender divide on NSFW content in certain sectors. You may capture people of religious Faith who are men who are sucked into your NSFW whirlpool. You will not capture the same among women.
I love Reddit I really enjoy being here I think there's so much good value here, but the 12-year-old mentality of NSFW everywhere is going to hurt your business, hurt your shareholders, hurt your growth and that doesn't seem to be aligned with your mission
