"keep news and fun content just barely clean enough to keep those"...

Title from a recent post by EG.

Y'all know Debbie gets her primary daily feeds from reddit and she's been watching r/all intently since the IPO to see how corporate is going to beat this beast into submission.  Since the Api kerfuffle, the morphing has changed the 'texture' of /all quite a bit and EG's comment succinctly captures what Debbie says in going on.  The 1st page used to be pretty gritty with significant numbers of nsfw posts. NSFW/nsfl stuff is still on reddit but it apparently isn't top-ranked anymore.

In keeping with "slap a cat on it," cat posts started working their way to the 1st page pretty quickly after the IPO --at least 3 cat posts on there currently.  Then wholesome subreddits like MadeMeSmile. Then comics.  With a few more tweaks it'll be close to family-oriented.

...and it's there. A nice veneer for all the NSFL-NSFW subreddits within.  I installed a filter yesterday.

To be fair, I meant "clean" in a more generic sense as in free of garbage and spam. But I think the comment works both ways.

It is telling that I sometimes see NSFW warnings on Reddit and in search for pictures of female athletes (who are often required to wear sexually provocative gear that men are not required to match).
