Is Reddit pushing porn?
2 2017-11-21 by ArchAntiAll
Reddit seems to have a real push towards porn over other content. Yes I have had a few accounts but never before have I seen porn on page 1or 2 of /all until now
I can use an incog mode as well a vpns and running it off a VM and still it seems reddit is pushing porn.
Honestly dont mind but usually just want to read the news

I hate to use a term thats been used a million times before.. but sex sells.
Whether that's for money or even just the currency of attention.
1 ArchAntiAll 2017-11-21
I agree fully.. It really is obvious..
Standing at a train platform they now have videos showing girls in bikinis selling supplement and on the other side is a gay burlesque show in leather bikinis
WTF is going on

Its standard behaviour at the end of the empire.
We only have to look to history to see the pattern repeating.
1 ArchAntiAll 2017-11-21
Time to build more coliseums
1 Mecanatron 2017-11-21
We already have them, look at the UFC.
Once again we see combat sports being taken to an extreme.
Maybe It's only modern societal morals that stop us throwing lions in with the fighters?
1 ArchAntiAll 2017-11-21
I too like UFC but it is wrong we are sending lions in with fighters
Fighters are using the skills they trained with for years... They are testing their might
So different.
My original post was about the porn being pushed by reddit
1 Mecanatron 2017-11-21
No different to many gladiators of their time. The difference lay in the choice. The entertainment value is the end product being pushed in both cases.
A society thats willingly accepts the extreme, wont discriminate against content.
Hence reddit pushing porn.
Just my opinion.

I like what you said and it made me think...
Also I come from an era where DnD would make me a satanist and video games would make me a killer
So I also dont subscribe to these views
Am I not a compensated slave now? Compensation changes the dynamic and we know that most gladiators were paid well.
I only care they do it of free will and are compensated
1 Mecanatron 2017-11-21
Born in the 70s? I'm from the same time frame. It almost seems like a parallel universe now!
I think we are all compensated slaves but like you said, the compensation makes it acceptable to us.
1 ArchAntiAll 2017-11-21
I think we are chatting here because we are not happy with the slavery that has been brought on us... We question the slavery
1 Mecanatron 2017-11-21
Most definitely.
I guess i'm one of the luckier ones in this world. I have a career that i love and i only answer to my clients, i dont have a boss.
However, the slavery doesnt just exist in the workplace, its everywhere around us and within us. It is in the stores in our choice of food. It is in our heads when we second guess our instinct.
It has been engineered to be that way by exceptional, malevolent minds. People that are far more intelligent than the slave owners of eras past.

Not sure if you know this, but the original owner of the UFC (before zuffa) wanted to have a moat surrounding the octagon with alligators in it, and also wanted it electrified
Cannot remember his name, but he was some gracie dudes boyfriend

Nope. No lions. Instead we'll let a dude dress up like a chick and get in the ring and beat the shit out of them. Then afterwards we'll pat ourselves on the back because of how "progressive" we are.
1 Mecanatron 2017-11-21
Have you seen the fight where the trans dude>girl was allowed to fight an actual girl?
Fuck that was brutal. Stupid idea.
1 Gooo66 2017-11-21
That's exactly what I'm talking about. Fallon Fox I believe is his name.
1 Mecanatron 2017-11-21
Thats the one. That was some crazy shit!
I cant believe the promoters thought it would turn out any other way.
I have to believe they knowingly sold a literal blood-fest.
1 Gooo66 2017-11-21
I think Rousey whooped his ass but said something along the lines of "that was the hardest hitting chick I've ever fought".
I stopped calling myself a Liberal when Fallon Fox came up.

I've been up voting tits on r/all for years. It's my fault guys ☹
1 ArchAntiAll 2017-11-21
Only if they are amazing for me.... They have to be 12 out of 10 tits
1 LupinePeregrinans 2017-11-21
Dammit, Frank!
Aha

Im sorry about your husband. We would have come quicker but he wasn't dead.
1 MoonManFromSpace 2017-11-21
If you use an app in the settings did you say you're over 18? If yes you will definitely see more porn than before.

Last i'd heard, NSFW subs would never appear on your front page unless you subscribed to them.
Although i'm not sure if that includes NSFW content on approved subs, like /r/pics
1 ArchAntiAll 2017-11-21
I dont subscribe to any NSFW and mostly read /all
My comments are in subs I care more about thats for sure..
To answer /u/facelessnature as well I am not new to this and been here for 6+ years. I only use reddit with no CSS or mods.. Just text on a white background
1 Rockran 2017-11-21
If I go Incognito via the Googles and see logged out content, I can't see any NSFW subs being pushed.
So what examples do you have?
1 facelessnature 2017-11-21
Hmm, perhaps it's different for every user. All I know is that my friend browses r/all and is always showing me something nsfw lol
1 moparornocar 2017-11-21
they dont show up on your frontpage, but if you browse /r/all without hiding NSFW posts in the settings, they will show up.
1 facelessnature 2017-11-21
I'm gonna guess you're a recent lurker on r/all. This isn't new at all, unfortunately. If anything, Reddit does the opposite. They make it almost impossible to search for nsfw subs when you're using their app...said my friend...

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Fallon Fox I believe is his name.
