If you try to look at reddit.com/r/nsfw and you’re not logged, you‘ll see now a log in button to see the content of the page. Until yesterday it was just a simple button with I’m over 18 text.

#2Is this in web? It’s been terrible on mobile for a while. I think you have to login and be on the app. Reddit has added nothing but user hostile features over the past few years. It sucks because all things considered Reddit used to feel like a pretty bottom-up non corporate “for the people” type product, that’s almost all gone now.

#8It's not just that. If you attempt to view something "spicy" like 3D printed guns on a mobile device, it tries to force you to install the app.
