This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.

Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it’s only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.

      And I didn’t say it was specific to NSFW subs. It’s been like this for most subs since like a year. They restricted nsfw subs years ago.

      Edit: It might not be exactly a year, but the point is I faced this restriction on sfw subs many times in recent memory and it’s not remotely new.

        I have seen it prompt me to go do the app but never seen it require so it might be in A/B testing or a partial rollout phase. Who knows? Point is we don’t have enough info here. Either way obviously they’re going to try and drive folks to the app. Frankly i don’t care though, I purged my account and moved on. If people want to suffer reddit’s increasingly poor decision making and changes they can be my guest.

      Yeah this is par for the course on NSFW subs, which are it’s makes partial sense (log in to see it). But having this on just random subreddits is a pretty terrible development. Sounds like they’re just testing the waters before every subreddit requires an about l account
