That's fucked up. What there reasoning behind that?
-
I think it went like this:
Mods make thier subs private in protest
Mods get threatened to lose mod powers if they dont reopen thier subs
Mods reopen thier subs but only as nsfw subs
Admins decide to intervene by disabling nsfw
Admins accidentally (or on purpose idk) disable nsfw on porn subs

I don't think it's porn subs.
Some subs went to allow NSFW (and porn) as protest, as you said, and reddit admins disabled the NSFW tag on those subs which decided to allow porn and become NSFW.
And so disabled the NSFW warning on porn posts.
-
To add to that, if a sub is tagged as nsfw, there are no ads (to not scare of advertisers). Some sub mods indirectly invited users to post porn, so they became nsfw subs by protest.

It was great thinking IMO. They just care about the advertisements and investors. They don’t care about who will watch what content.

It sounds like they're just removing the NSFW tag site-wide instead of using the manpower to manually check each sub to see if it was NSFW before the protests.
What a fucking fumble, using the iron fist approach on the people who supply and moderate literally all of their content for free surely won't have any repercussions. -

¿Por que no los dos?

I swear I've heard the term malicious incompetence before.
