That’s what I’m predicting, too; past IPO the site will become a shadow of its former self. It won’t be just porn being banned, but also:
subreddits will be seized by the trademark owners, creating a chilling effect
content policy will be completely revamped. No more “we’re trying to protect you lol” façade, it’ll be right into "we don’t care about users or trash like this, we care about brands"
DMCA will be enforced on an “it’s a user so it’s assumed to be guilty unless it can prove the contrary”.
r/assholedesign and r/hailcorporate will get banned
they’ll revamp the ad spaces to give you a harder time blocking them
old.reddit? “I dun unrurrstand, y u live in the past? we remove it lol”
I just wish that this all happened before the IPO.

Then watch as the porn purge begins. Then the site will slowly die.
