When mods froze popular subreddits to protest Reddit's new API fees, the company threatened to depose and replace them unless they re-opened their communities. Undeterred, some devilishly sly mods took a new tactic: designate their subreddits NSFW, which keeps them open, but limits access and prevents Reddit from showing ads on them due to Reddit's own policy.

And here's where the mods turn to the camera with roguish smirks, because they weren't necessarily bluffing. The fan-run r/cyberpunkgame subreddit, for instance, is now mainly images of nude Cyberpunk 2077 characters.
