I think the title speaks for itself.

EDIT: UPDATE: So apparently the former r/jailbait mod that is The CEO purged the sub’s mods and forced the sub to re-reopen under the old rules.

Mission failed! We’ll get them next time!

EDIT2: aaaaaaand the sub’s archived and no longer accepts new submissions. The garbage fire keeps going…

    This is epic level malicious compliance. Best way to run a SFW sub into the ground is opening it up to NSFW content.

        Did that include the reddit app? If someone had their subscription set up with only NSFW subs would that not display ads on their home feed?

        Realistically nothing is stopping them from doing so it’s their own policies which is kinda dumb af. All they’d have to do is prevent ads from brands that don’t want to be associated with it from showing there.

        The fact they don’t show advertisements on NSFW subs/posts just tells me their advertising tools and targeting are absolutely sub par.

          As a professional marketer and advertiser, that’s not correct.

          What keeps them from doing it is that most high-dollar advertisers don’t want their ads/brand appearing next to NSFW content.

          It’s probably more difficult for Reddit to filter out NSFW ad impressions rather than just let ads appear anywhere. But advertisers demand it, so they have to do it to get the dollars.
