Those rules are probably set by advertisers, not be reddit themselves.

And the advertisers are gonna be pissed when their products show up next to genitals on a “now SFW” subreddit.

I really don't get that mentality as an advertiser. Lotta people looking at porn. Lotta potential for your ads to be seen. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In the US, at least, you have a significant portion of the population with a puritanical bent. To top it off, they're extremely vocal, political, and organized.

Right or wrong, advertisers are terrified of angering these people.

Yeah me to. The internet is full of ads and porn as it is. What is the big deal about seeing them together?
