A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I can't say for sure, but I suspect they are trying to push nsfw in-house for the sake of monetizing it. Nsfw drives quite a bit of traffic, and with the falling out of Imgur, Reddit itself has become the primary host. They just can't say their intentions publicly because Reddit has a bit of problem with non-consensual material.
But wait. I have a NSFW subreddit, and reddit doesn't allow you to upload pictures directly to reddit if you're on an NSFW subreddit. Right? So how can it be the primary host?
Apparently it's allowed via the official mobile app.
