A week ago, I wrote about the top Reddit alternatives because Reddit (the company) is having a civil war with its users due to an abysmal increase in API
Maybe I’m misunderstanding this, but with subreddits going NSFW, it means that the content won’t be displayed in 3p apps only? Seems like this will help push users to the official app?
The way I understand it, is that advertising money is not put into NSFW content on the site, so by making every big sub NSFW they are effectively punching reddit in the wallet and trying to make their IPO fail.
It’s supposed to make the site less desirable to advertisers. Reddit has continually restricted more and more of its nsfw content over the years in an attempt to appease advertisers, so this is a… provocative step in the opposite direction.
If the apps still exists (which they won’t) they won’t see NSFW content. Since the subreddits are flooded with porn, only the 3rd party app will have those filtered out and see the actual content of the subreddit without wading through pages and pages of porn.

Additionally the only requirement to view nsfw stuff is that they can validate that your account has opted in to viewing it.
3p apps will see it if you’re signed in.
Not yet, it’s the API change that will remove NSFW content from 3rd party apps starting July 1st, but apps will be dead anyway.
