Apparently, the best thing to do is to say the wrong answer to something you're asking rather than outright asking the question. Folks will be more likely to correct you than help you, which is just dandy.

Huh, so the main magic the gathering, ff14, and xenoblade subreddits are still privated and are joining the extended strike. I didn't bother checking them when the blackout started out of solidarity but its nice to know when I checked them earlier this morning.

I'm finding that the blackouts are a really cruel way to learn about new porn subreddits right as they go dark forever. My only solace is that there's already a stable diffusion checkpoint that had been trained on most of them, but sometimes I just want to look at a nude woman that isn't missing all her limbs and horrifyingly fused to her furniture

The mods aren't users and it's hilarious to me that a tiny percentage of mods can just shut down reddit. Honestly reddit should just start mass banning them, their case is idiotic. No one gives a gently caress about api changes.l except losers and nerds.

Reddit is one of the largest internet websites period. So no, most reddit users are just browsing it off Google. So giving any ounce of control to that to a bunch of IT admins who jack off all day to r/ronpaulporn while handling their 1 ticket at work seems to be the biggest mistake reddit made

I'm ashamed I know this, but there's definitely a porn sub with renders that are wildly good.

For now. They're removing NSFW access for their API and if I had to guess they're going to gut it more moving forward to appease advertisers

The part that should make you go "hmmm wait a minute" is that advertisers don't give a poo poo if there's NSFW content in an API. Advertisers only care if there's NSFW content being shown alongside their ads. Apple and Google don't use 'you have an API that has NSFW content in it' as a reason to kick someone off their app stores, they only care about what you show in your app. And literally nobody gives a poo poo if you have NSFW content on a website viewed through a mobile phone's web browser so there's no reason to restrict it from there either. And OpenAI isn't scraping all their NSFW content to make their LLMs better, so the whole "we need to protect our precious users from evil AI scrapers" doesn't fly either.

Literally every single argument they've given for restricting NSFW content from their API has been complete, unmitigated bullshit; because they're doing exactly the opposite of what the actual market forces at play push them to do.

The only possible real purpose that aligns with their actions (bringing NSFW in-house rather than trying to push it out and make the display of it someone else's problem) is that they know a large portion of their userbase comes to reddit for NSFW content, and if they make it so the only way you can get at that NSFW is through their app; so they can get you into their sandbox, so when they inevitable drop the bomb and ban all the NSFW content (because Apple and Google and Mastercard and Visa tell them to), you're in the best position to stick around for their Other Great Content™️ in a way they can monetize.

They're just so transparently operating in bad faith.

Nobody should be ashamed of CG porn... nobody has ever human-trafficked a CG render and forced it into camwhoring/prostitution. They just do it because they're wild anime college girls and Overwatch characters unwinding and having a good time.

e: just to plug it again, you can download a UI for stable diffusion here and models from here, you just need a gaming PC to run it. Better do it now before they try to monetize this crap too. Perfect World is good for renders, sometimes if your prompt is good they only have one rear end in a top hat.

Their excuse for the NSFW thing is that some states/countries are starting to require more age verification before showing porn, and they don’t control that as much with APIs.

This argument is of course immediately undone by the fact that they do no age verification on Reddit itself, but that hasn’t stopped them from trotting that out as the reason.
