• It’s only because they were default subs. A while back one of the news subs (r/world news? ) got flooded with porn and basically switched to a random anime porn type of sub. That caused the population to migrate to r/anime_titties for all their news needs. Now when it happens to a special sub though it’s a problem?

    • lol, I witnessed that historical moment, essentially r/worldnews become a wild west where any post is acceptable, and it’s all 50/50 NSFW, you either get a naked lady or a butthole, while r/anime_titties are the proper sub for world news…

      • It was /r/worldpolitics, with anime_titties being the actual world politics sub. Similar to how /r/trees is for weed, and /r/marijuana_enthusiests is for people discussing actual trees

    • Did they ask to be default subs, though? I remember at least two occasions where mods said they woke up one morning and there was a huge influx of users, reports, and comments, and they’d been defaulted without even being asked if they wanted to be.
