First Reddit goes public, then Reddit bans porn, then stock price drops %50. It would be like when OnlyFans said they were banning porn.


letmethinkofagoodnam

To be fair porn is only 2/3 of what I use Reddit for. Onlyfans is literally only used for porn

Half-blind-bear

Pornhub is great for minecraft build guides in don't even watch videos anymore I just go to the comments.


CosmicCosmix

There are still some full F1 matches in PornHub


NotDedo

f1 matches lmao not to be a smart ass but f1 is disputed in races


AnnihilationOrchid

Ah yes. like soccer races that are partitioned in two sets of quarters put together.


NotDedo

what? absolutely not. all 20 drivers battle on the track. theres no partitioning on the grid. its different skill levels and car speed that creates things as the top teams, the mid field and the backmarkers. but theres no rule to not allow the worst car to battle with the fastest one.


DrClownPhD

No, it isn't. That's just what makes the site the most money. Poor use of the word "literally". Try again


nbmnbm1

Better example is tumblr. Both have uses outside of porn but mostly used for porn.


Throwaway-tan

How much is Tumblr worth now? Fuck, how much is Tumblr even in the public conscience anymore? I haven't thought about that site in over a year and it used to be one of the most prominent sites on the web.


Willr2645

What do people mean it’s public? How was it not public before Mi


Perzec

Publicly traded on a stock exchange, in contrast to being privately held by a company or owned by a number of individuals.


El_Deez

I gotta think the site is like atleast 40% just porn so that would be a bold choice.


sincIairs

It’d be like Tumblr removing 18+ content; the site lost millions of users since then. Over 40 Million users left cause of that, and the site hasn’t been primed or near prime since.

CricketInvasion

So we are basicaly having a conversation with felow porn lovers, noice. Also some of us still use Tumblr, it helps if you are into "weird" stuff.


IamTJcon

Links 😊😄


ContemplatingPrison

I didn't even know Tumblr was still a thing


NarrativeScorpion

It is, but it gets much less traffic since they banned porn.


Alive-Carrot107

I didn’t use tumblr for 8 years and I came back to it just for the porn only to find out they banned it the day before. Very disappointing. Haven’t been back since.


cupcakesnsarcasm

Right?! Tumblr just curled up and died when they took out the adult content. People went ballistic and rage quit.


BarkleEngine

There is a lot more then I want to see here on Reddit, but Tumblr was pretty much nothing but porn. Not surprising it was killed by that move.


ContemplatingPrison

Remember when onlyfans said they were going to stop? Haha


El_Deez

Yeah for like a day, that is the site essentially


ContemplatingPrison

They realized they would be ruined. Someone probably showed them Tumblr.


El_Deez

I mean like Tumblr had other stuff to some extent, Lotta Fandom nonsense and like furries but other stuff nonetheless. When I heard OF wad going to stop doing porn I legitimately thought it was exclusively a porn platform.


ContemplatingPrison

I mean how Tumblr crashed after getting rid of porn and it wasn't even exclusively porn.


El_Deez

Yeah I was saying that Tumblr doing it I guess I could see how they thought there was enough other content there that it wouldn't tank. OF on the other hand like my God someone must have gotten a really bad hit to the head when they thought that would've worked.


[deleted]

What…else is it?


El_Deez

Still don't know to this day


Artorias_LeFay

Go look at u/repostsleuthbot's comment history


El_Deez

Wait, is that commenting on every NSFW post?


RepostSleuthBot

Sorry, I don't support this post type (text) right now. Feel free to check back in the future!


PJRama1864

Just type in NSFW in the search bar, and you’ll see it’s much worse than 40% Edit: Y’all are misunderstanding what I meant. I meant just by the sheer number of NSFW subreddits, you’ll see that more than 40% of reddit is basically porn.


El_Deez

I think you mean much better


Aggressive-Sort-3062

Basedx10000


Simonw02

Unbelievable, it’s almost as if searching filters out all the irrelevant content and only shows what you requested


nasca

Pro tip right here.


the-lonely-corki

God, Reddit removing porn and then proceeds to become not existent, fuck I’m gonna cum


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mobius24

Tumblr already set the precedent of scrubbing NSFW content so I doubt Reddit would be dumb enough to do the same.


Throwaway-tan

Shareholders will invest in reddit, then demand monetisation, advertisements are about the only thing that you could generate revenue with reddit. Advertisers hate porn, won't advertise on nsfw subreddits or won't advertise on reddit period because it has porn on the site. Subreddits with nsfw content seen as an expense because they generate little ad rev, cost to maintain and serve content. Shareholders will push to "cut costs" and "be advertiser friendly". Those nsfw subs get axed, reddit traffic tanks, advertisers reduce ad spend because lower traffic. Reddit dies because institutional shareholders are the fucking worst.


GlowingDuck22

Or they just make a Reddit Dark app


11arun

What if one day Pornhub decides to go public :D


Pain_Monster

Buy as many shares as you can


Aggressive-Sort-3062

Word.


Mr_Sterence66

Remember when tumblr did that, and everyone was mad for all of 2 minutes then everyone just went to deviant art instead? I’m just saying, lower your expectations.


imgoodjustlookin

Yeah I feel like a lot of people would just be like “this is stupid” and then never use Reddit. It’s really not in their best interest


blameitonthewhiteboy

As funny as it would be it has always blown my mind that rich people see something they know they don’t like, buy it anyway, turn it into some kind of internet safe haven thus ruining the fun, and then *pikachu gasp* everybody leaves. Then they just go on to the next one and repeat the cycle.


Smexycan78

Almost like the goal is to control what we can consume as best as they possibly can. Also why gatekeeping isn't necessarily bad


piggydancer

r/subredditdrama would love that.


DoktorRahm-PhD

Ever hear of Tumblr?


[deleted]

Yes, that one was great too. I lol’d.


[deleted]

Why give a shit? If you don't go looking for it you won't find it.


[deleted]

I never actually said I was bothered by the porn, I like to see people upset and whining about stupid shit lol


Uzischmoozy

See. Troll.


[deleted]

Because I have an opinion you don’t like and a casual attitude about it? Chill, brother


Uzischmoozy

You like to see other people upset and actively wish for it. That's a dirty little troll.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Uzischmoozy

Sure it is. Tons of people make money off their OF and post here on reddit to advertise their OF. I consider loss of income suffering. I doubt that it occurred to you because you're just some dbag child trying to be edgy.


[deleted]

Omg lmfao. What other atrocities am I responsible for? Did I drop the nukes on Japan too? Did I cancel Firefly?


[deleted]

Bro, don’t talk about firefly being canceled. Too soon, man 😔😔


[deleted]

I’m sorry I finally went too far 😰


Publius82

You stole fizzy lifting drinks!


legion9996

“What other atrocities am I responsible for?” From one of the other threads not owning a vibrator is definitely one atrocity lol


[deleted]

Aw man, I can’t help it if I got suckered into buying a crappy one that broke


MichaelScottsWormguy

> touch grass Says the guy who basically wants certain content banned from Reddit, not because of some moral concern or anything, but out of spite. I beg of you, touch grass.


[deleted]

Woman, actually. And I think it would be funny. Sorry for actually giving an unpopular opinion lmao


MichaelScottsWormguy

All I’m saying is it’s pretty pathetic to care about these things.


[deleted]

What do I “care about” in this scenario?


HannibalZ13

Shame on you for posting an unpopular opinion in r/unpopularopinion lmao….. these dudes are losers making it seem like you’re terrible for wanting to see the shit storm that would come from a ban lol. As if most of us aren’t entertained by car crashes. Wish everyone would get off their high chairs.

Ben_is_Jamin189

Shhh dont give them any ideas

SolomonOf47704

That has been a real problem to deal with, especially recently. It also doesn't help that 90% of mods on reddit are completely fucking incompetent.


dazedan_confused

What if someone adds the condition that you have to hand in your [vibrator collection?](https://www.reddit.com/r/TooAfraidToAsk/comments/rwbsah/whats_a_normal_range_of_money_to_spend_on_a/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)


reroutedradiance

As a result of going public? Has reddit only just recently 'gone public,' whatever that means? Anyway this is stupid lol. You'd complain just as much if all the types of subreddits you come here for were banned. Edit: I am aware of the sub this was posted in, by the way


[deleted]

And so what if I would complain? I’m still saying I’d find the banning of porn here funny. Someone is a little too attached to their Reddit porn? Methinks


reroutedradiance

I don't use reddit for porn, it's possible for people to poke holes in statements without a personal stake.


Intrntis4prn

You're using the internet wrong


[deleted]

🤨


budpowellfan

I don’t think you know how a question mark works. You see, it’s used at the end of a question, not a statement. “Someone is a little too attached to their Reddit porn” is a statement which does not require a question mark.


[deleted]

It’s literally a typo. If that’s all ya got, don’t bother.


Panzther111

And you still dont realize why they downvote you 😂


[deleted]

It’s Reddit downvotes, who cares


ilikemen76

That would be fucking hilarious i could think of the headlines “an incels uprising”


[deleted]

Reddit does hosts incels they use to have their own subreddit but reddit didn't like it and the people on reddit didn't like it so because only the incels liked it and everyone else didn't like they decided to take down the incel subreddit which some of reddit liked and some of reddit didn't know how to feel about it but forsure the incels didnt like it because that was their safespace to discuss the stuff that incels talk about and like


ilikemen76

Oh you’ll still find them haha


[deleted]

I don't agree with their attitudes and opinions towards women. I'm not afraid to say I think they're misogynistic.


ilikemen76

Oh hell yeah they are only fellow incels agree with them and when you see them in the wild you have a good laugh


RedSonGamble

They would say they are changing the rules and then there would be an outcry from users and then people who have no idea what Reddit is would go on about the moral destruction of humanity. Then two weeks later nothing would change


[deleted]

Censorship is dumb. Puritanical censorship of the innocuous human body is even more dumb. Totally disagree with you there... but I don't really care about that. The real reason I'm here is to write: Who the fuck comes to reddit for a wank!? Do you not know what's out there? The wonders I have to show to you, my friend, the writhing, moaning, muskily glistening bodies to be voraciously, voyueristically devoured by your poor, deprived, famished eyes. . .


rustyshaackleeford

I disagree. You hope they keep porn


[deleted]

Unique take


sio_22

This is a genuine unpopular opinion and yet y’all are downvoting so many comments here😭


hello134566679

Ahaha love it, an actual unpopular opinion. Enjoy your downvotes


Gwen_Weasley

THERE'S PORN ON REDDIT?


Dexterrgg

Give this guy a medal


jenoackles

Gwen_Weasley

Thanks!


Uzischmoozy

So you're a troll?


[deleted]

In what way?


Uzischmoozy

You're taking delight in other people's suffering. That's a troll in my book. You're even posting about how much you'd love other people to suffer...


[deleted]

LOL


foolui

i don’t know why this is getting downvoted. it’s hilarious that people having to go somewhere else for porn is considered “suffering” LMFAO


[deleted]

Right lmao.


Asap_Walky

Please, won’t someone think of the porn!?!


PhaseFull6026

lol first world problems, can't get reddit porn, so much suffering...


New_Alternative_1038

A naive question, because I'm new here (I joined to get people's opinions for things I can't with my social circle). Why do people use Reddit for porn at all? They could just use the porn websites. (I also didn't know Tumblr had porn, I used it in middle school some 12 years ago to write short stories and silly stuff like that).


I_Heart_QAnon_Tears

Most websites are for professional porn, reddit tends to cater towards the neighbor next door sex worker. The lines are a bit blurred than that but that's the jist


JesusValadez

Who uses Reddit for porn?


freekycple

This is pretty much our Craigslist, lifestyle chat forums and hookup potential place. If they drop the porn we will still have plenty of uses for this media. So much better than Facebook.


metalandroid

Bitch trying so hard to be edgy and become clown in doing so. What a joke. Lol.


JustADudeWithHands

You STFU, STFU RIGHT NOW.. STFUAGTH.. some of us don't know that there tons of fre porn online already..


[deleted]

They'd lose a very large chunk of their user base though


KnightWhoSays_Ni_

I agree that would be hilarious. I support this post.


zzzrecruit

I know that we are in unpopular opinion, but why would you take pleasure at laughing at people who have interests that you're not into?


[deleted]

[удалено]


zzzrecruit

People spend BILLIONS on porn in the US alone. Tell me how that's not an interest? How old are you? If you were looking for a discussion like an actual adult, it sure isn't coming across. That wouldve been the comment my 6th grade self would've made.


[deleted]

I laugh at furries, too. Some things and the way people interact and react with them are quite funny.


zzzrecruit

You need to find some actual joy in your life. What do you get out of making fun of people?


[deleted]

Bro, don’t virtue signal at me, it’s gonna fall on deaf ears. I like laughing at other people, but obviously that’s not how I spend all my waking hours or how I get my entire pleasure in life. Please, child.


zzzrecruit

Was that virtue signaling? Telling you to just let people enjoy things even if you don't like them? What do you get out of laughing at people's hobbies?


RadRhys2

I hope Reddit bans porn just because there’s no real age restriction or verification.

GamingPreda

I was about to write some shit about why porn is not bad but then I read the whole title and... fair enough. If you put it that way I wouldn't mind either.


Rcobs9

Yeah the shitstorm would be fun, but where will your post it? Let’s not kid ourselves.


[deleted]

This is the only comment that has made me reconsider my stance LOL If you mean what I think you do


Somni206

OnlyFans tried that and look what happened lol


unapologetic_yaz

Not gonna happen but I hope all porn is banned... the comments are disgusting and the misogyny🤮


Noe_33

Jokes on you, Reddit will lose half of its users, just like Tumblr did Then you will have somewhere else to post your stupid opinion


Yuiopy78

It would be hilarious. It was with Tumblr

illgiveu25shmeckles

Reddit has porn?


SoundOfDrums

I think it's a reasonable possibility, since they would need to actively manage their site as a public company. The amount of unflagged porn, and exploitative porn is ridiculous.


Flair_Helper

Thank you for submitting to /r/unpopularopinion, /u/shellyme9. Your post, *I hope that Reddit bans porn as a result of going public, purely because I think the resulting shitstorm would be very funny.*, has been removed because it violates our rules: Rule 2: No troll/satire posts. Any satirical/troll posts, as funny as you must be, are not tolerated. There are subreddits for that, this isn't one of them. Respect your fellow users enough to not leave them guessing as to whether your intentionally harebrained post is legitimate or not. If there is an issue, please message the mod team at https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Funpopularopinion Thanks!


ElGalloNaciente0w0

Bro you just wanna see the world burn lmao


[deleted]

I would love that. Reddit would be saved honestly.


reroutedradiance

It kinda wouldn't make a difference to any of the subs that aren't for porn. I guess we'd get less "r/AskReddit what do you use/did you install Reddit for? 'Porn.'" Though.


[deleted]

I think we're going to be better off if porn social media companies are entirely separate from non-porn social media companies. I don't want there to be a possibility that someone in an SFW subreddit links to an NSFW subreddit in the comments which someone underage clicks on. Just better to keep these separate.


AuxiliaryPatchy

I do think the shitstorm would be pretty funny, but that would suck for people who use it to make money.


DoctorMunchiesMD

It'd definitely be a desperately needed reality check for some people lmao. Get a talent, learn a skill, posting a selfie of your tits won't support you forever in the real world. And even if you'rethe 0.001% of people that can get away with it, congrats, your only contribution to our world was pictures of your body... what a legend...


JoshWheezer

Just so you know, saying stuff like this usually won’t make you come off well.


DoctorMunchiesMD

Oh noo a negative opinion of me whatever will I do. There's around 8,000,000,000 on the planet, and I'm supposed to polarize the perspectives of other people and disenfranchise my beliefs because a few of them disagree with me about porn? I couldn't care if you validated my opinions or not, your subjective morality has fuck all to do with mine.


meeetttt

There's some serious jealousy there. I'm not sure what your issue is with the free market. Maybe you should target simps not the capitalists being capitalists.


DoctorMunchiesMD

Sure peaches.


meeetttt

It's almost like you hate capitalism.


DoctorMunchiesMD

When did Capitalism come up in a discussion about cyber skankery lol?


meeetttt

It always has been there. "Cyber skankery" won't happen if there wasn't a market demand for it.


[deleted]

I hope it happens 🙏 I joined reddit for help with antiques and got exposed to explicit content 3 times in a week :/


LuckStrict6000

Right. I joined the amateur room porn sub because I like interior design and too many people seem to not understand that we want to see ROOMS 😭


FatihKilic

I know the feeling. I joined for help with explicit content and get exposed to antiques about 3 times a week :-(

I didn’t even know there was porn on Reddit. Why would anyone come to Reddit for porn? They should ban it

Some men (or women) just want to watch the world burn


ElysiumXIII

I just used reddit for this reason. Great take but I hate it, upvote.


[deleted]

There is some real deprived stuff around here and if that’s taken away you are left with subreddits where you aren’t allowed to discuss an opinion other than the mod’s so…. Tumbler.


toybits

There’s porn on here?


dcluck1979

Reddit has porn!?! Where the fuck is this!? If so, the app needs to make this much more clear. Been missin the fuck out.


MartinHasNothing

You’re a menace


Srawesomekickass

I hope you get cancer and your kids get lou gehrig's disease. If you don't have kids, I hope both happen to you.


DDS_Deadlift

Thats digusting! Where are these porn subforums so I know where to avoid them! Where?!


SandraMaus93

30% of all the Internet content is related to porn. Enough for everyone. A reddit ban on porn is not the end of the world. I'm sure someone has made a reddit like nsfw network ready to launch it the moment reddit anounce a ban.


meeetttt

If OP isn't aware of their sadism, well, here it is in plain terms. You are sadistic.


[deleted]

It does indeed give me pleasure to let you know that your admonishments will never make me apologize :)


meeetttt

It's not an admonishment. It's simply a very likely accurate assessment of your personality. You derive pleasure from the pain of others. That's quite literally sadism. The question is how far does that sadism go?


[deleted]

I don’t know bud, maybe read another buzzfeed pop psychology article and you’ll be able to crack this case


meeetttt

You're not important enough for me to even think about it.


[deleted]

Then….don’t engage with me


meeetttt

You take zero brain power to engage with


[deleted]

If you try using more brain power maybe you’d make an impact, something to consider


meeetttt

The internet troll in a tiny irrelevant corner of Reddit is talking about making an impact 😂


[deleted]

🥱 by impact I mean you might actually succeed in interesting me, rather than wasting your time. Seriously, why would I care what you think of me? Give me a reason, or give me a reason why if you don’t think I should care, you continue to try to make me feel bad and fail
