The social media site Reddit successfully launched an IPO last week that raised $748 million. The Onion examines what Reddit users can expect now that the company has gone public.
Reddit Will Now Be Covered In Ads For Reddit
Isn't it already? Get Reddit Mobile! Use the app! Why aren't you using the app? Open this link in the app! Pleeeeeease let us flood you with cream cheese and He Gets Us ads! App!
My favorite is that they don't let you look at porn without using the app now. They have clearly wandered so far from their native path.
Probably not, most of those bills had a clause that if less than a certain percentage of your content wasn't porn than the site didn't need age verification. Twitter is in the same category. No idea about how it applies to some of the porn focused instances on the fediverse though, but I'm guessing they're so small that they won't be targeted unless their servers are actually located in the states with the age verification laws.
I think you can still use old.reddit to view nsfw if you're already signed in but it's been awhile since I tried
Old reddit is unusable on mobile because it has practically no responsiveness. You have to zoom in a million percent to press any links or buttons.

In order to verify their identity and confirm they are over 18, users will have to mail a single pube to Reddit HQ.
Address?
I honestly thought the joke was them filling the page with ads, like that's what we can expect from reddit now. Turns out the Onion just has a shit ton of ads. 😞
Why are you raw dogging? Get an adblocker and set your dns to one too, like dns.adguard.com. At this point in time if you don’t you’re just wanting ads
I don't think this is real guys. Doubt they would let girls on reddit. Will likely just be AI bots. Nonetheless, just in case this is real I'm gonna go ahead and send a pube today.
I wonder why they didn't include themselves in the examples of publications that became online only.
I'm all for dunking on reddit and the IPO but this slideshow feels like someone pulled it out of their ass on a whim with help of some AI art.
Come on Onion, I know you can be funnier than this!
