Reddit's Battle with NSFW Labels and API Changes

Reddit has demanded that moderators remove the NSFW (Not Safe For Work) label from certain subreddits, which were using it as a form of protest against Reddit's new API pricing and treatment of unpaid volunteer moderators. The moderators argued that their communities should have been NSFW already due to potentially violent content. Reddit warned that failure to remove the NSFW designation would result in the removal of the moderator teams. Some subreddits, including r/PICS and r/military, have since dropped the NSFW label. The situation has raised concerns about the impact on community safety and Reddit's ability to monetize the platform.
