The ongoing Reddit protest over API pricing intensified this week after some moderators added the NSFW, not safe for work, tag to their otherwise appropriate subreddits.
According to Reddit policy, subreddit pages that have the NFSW tag cannot host advertisements. The moderators who are now adding the NSFW tag to their pages are hoping to cut into Reddit’s advertising revenue.
“Changing a previously SFW community to an NSFW community in order to protest Reddit policies is inappropriate for the members of your community and not acceptable overall,” the company said. Some of the pages that are still tagged as NSFW include subreddits focused on technical support for Apple products, Game of Thrones and birth control.
