/r/interestingasfuck forced open, lowers its standard of what qualifies as "interesting", gets flooded with adult content [NSFW within two clicks]
reddit.com
I think the title speaks for itself.
EDIT: UPDATE: So apparently the former r/jailbait mod that is The CEO purged the sub’s mods and forced the sub to re-reopen under the old rules.
Mission failed! We’ll get them next time!
EDIT2: aaaaaaand the sub's archived and no longer accepts new submissions. The garbage fire keeps going....

Yeah, no rules is definitely the way to hurt Reddit as a company, but I can see why some mods aren't as willing to go full no rules quite just yet. They're likely still holding onto hopes that they'll be able to return to business as usual and it's easier to recover from a flood of memes than it is from being a porn sub.
That being said, I imagine we'll see this even more come next month.
I read too that going no rules is basically abandoning moderating and giving Reddit more ‘legitimate’ reason to replace the mods.
They have 1 rule technically and are still going to moderate for reddit policies/rules. I'm assuming people are just saying "no rules" as shorthand.
