MODERATORS
🤣
They're not lowering the standard on what qualifies as interesting, they're just taking the "fuck" part to the letter lmao.
The possibilities here are endless
"Amagi's toes are interesting" "This penis has an interesting vain"
I can't wait to get off work, this sounds hilarious.
I wonder if all this malicious compliance is also gonna screw with all that AI research people were interested in doing, if all the topics have essentially shifted....
This is the best way to harm reddit. More than a decade of carefully organized human sorted and ranked data by topic on. Destroy that data, it's ranking, it's sorting - you destroy the value going forward
The worst thing for Reddit is that they don't advertise against NSFW content. This has major revenue implications for Reddit.
This is hilarious.
Waiting for mem with r/spez saying "wait no, not like this"
I thought i was logged onto the wrong account LOL
Same. I never subbed to pornographic subreddits, so when I saw a lady broadcasting her breasts on my front page, I had to do a double take. And then I made this post here xD
It's r/interestingassfuck now
'interesting as fuck' sounds a lot different to someone from India
I love how Mods Tell they are "forced" what is reddit gonna Do otherwise? Dont pay them?
Oh wait....
I do think if they open with malicious compliance, it’s better than if they open with moderators that wanna replace and wanna do their best to keep the sub going

The sub is now /r/InterestANDFuck. I'm sure this is worse for Spez than the John Oliver sub changes, which I also approve of. Everyone knows advertisers love NSFW content being just out there for anybody to stumble upon.
