In an earnings call, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman mentions the possibility of 'exclusive content or private areas' on the platform, which is looking for more revenue sources after a March IPO.
That’s why I downloaded the top 250 non-text posts from 250 different pornographic subreddit when they announced the API bullshit over a year ago. I got an old man style static spank bank like playboy magazines in the 70s on my home server for safe keeping.

I’m sharing the screenshot posted to Reddit, I haven’t seen the article. You can follow the link to the Reddit thread.
Cheers!
That’s a satire article

Identity to whatever degenerate shit you like to get off to.
