MODERATORS
Those rules are probably set by advertisers, not be reddit themselves.
And the advertisers are gonna be pissed when their products show up next to genitals on a “now SFW” subreddit.
I really don't get that mentality as an advertiser. Lotta people looking at porn. Lotta potential for your ads to be seen. 🤷🏻♂️
In the US, at least, you have a significant portion of the population with a puritanical bent. To top it off, they're extremely vocal, political, and organized.
Right or wrong, advertisers are terrified of angering these people.
