I really hope this leads to actual change. Subreddits are becoming meaningless to visit and frustrating for normal users, so hopefully they just stop using reddit altogether.

I wonder if all this malicious compliance is also gonna screw with all that AI research people were interested in doing, if all the topics have essentially shifted....

They're not lowering the standard on what qualifies as interesting, they're just taking the "fuck" part to the letter lmao.
'interesting as fuck' sounds a lot different to someone from India
Why India specifically?
Lol, I keep reddit just to enjoy the massive porn tsunami that will flood every subreddit.
I thought i was logged onto the wrong account LOL
Same. I never subbed to pornographic subreddits, so when I saw a lady broadcasting her breasts on my front page, I had to do a double take. And then I made this post here xD
probably leaving Reddit for good soon...
The sub is now /r/InterestANDFuck. I'm sure this is worse for Spez than the John Oliver sub changes, which I also approve of. Everyone knows advertisers love NSFW content being just out there for anybody to stumble upon.

I love how Mods Tell they are "forced" what is reddit gonna Do otherwise? Dont pay them?
Oh wait....
I do think if they open with malicious compliance, it’s better than if they open with moderators that wanna replace and wanna do their best to keep the sub going
