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.

Yes with NSFW subs specifically. OP did not post a NSFW sub.

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

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
