I think it’s both. Instead of trying to update the codebase with one new database attributes for each conceivable way to tag content, you simply put in facilities to abstract that - “show only posts with tag foobar”, “hide all posts with tag foobar”.
Comment on Now that we're finally out of reddit, can we finally get different tag for NSFW and NSFL?

I just got done reading a whole diatribe on how everything sucks because the code for everything is just duck tape on top of duck tape.

“Duck tape” actually has a longer history than “duct tape.” While there is also branded Duck™ tape, duck tape, as in adhesive cotton duck, has been around since the 1800s or so.
