I'm still waiting for the day when people will stop being absurdly neurotic about sexuality and just let people share their stuff as long as it's age flagged appropriately. It's so absurd that the most normal thing on earth is put into the same moderation category as harassment or hate speech.

My uninformed impression is that Tumblr users were relatively unique in how freely they mixed pornography consumption and non porno. There are some Twitter users who do this, but Twitter is public enough that most people are wary of doing that or get caught by follows, likes being public. My anecdotal experience is that I don't see porno comments or submissions from most reddit users either, but that's obviously skew…
People on Reddit will often have an alt account for porn. I have seen people say things like "oops, posted from my nsfw account" plenty of times before. I assume Twitter is the same. Both platforms freely give out plenty of accounts.
Makes sense. Not exactly advertising friendly content for them to monetize.
Why do advertisers shy away from porn? It's not like iPhone owners don't watch it so what's the problem with Apple putting their ads next to a pair of boobs once in a while?
Because porn sites profit off CSAM, sex trafficking and revenge porn, why would Coca Cola or Disney want to be associated with that?

You sure? Twitter is notoriously known for asking for users phone number in every account, its practically impossible to have an active account without adding your phone number.

There's this weird world of people who get their memes from Imgur directly and don't know about reddit or their other sources Looks like the shadow theatre has a captive audience
A lot of the Reddit posts they're reading a xerox of are just tweets. A copy of a copy!
Imgur will also be deleting images that aren't associated with a user account. https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/14415587638029/
This strikes me as being at least as big a deal as the NSFW bit. For 10+ years, imgur has been many people's go-to way of hosting an image they want to post to a forum or whatever. Many of those people will have paid little attention to whether or not they were logged into imgur when they posted each image. In short, it sounds like a lot of image links are about to break.

This is incredibly vague "We will be focused on removing old, unused, and inactive content that is not tied to a user account" What is old, unused and inactive? That could be 10 year old images or 10 month old images. I have no idea. Is an image getting regular hits going to be deleted? Who knows... I guess many will still be on archive.org if someone is late to the party downloading a backup.
I'm surprised imgur still exists. It's been years since reddit started doing their own image hosting, and that was basically the only thing anyone used it for.
I don't really use either sites, but isn't Reddit mostly a collection of links to content from other places? Whenever I needed to share an image online over the years, I tended to use Imgur without an account after bildr.no shut down, but I did only use those services if it didn't matter that the image disappeared after I'd shared it, and now that you can copy-paste images into basically any messaging service on basically any device that sort of need has disappeared.
