What’s the point of making it nsfw?
Advertisers don't like it, and they make up a big part of Reddit's income.
Can't advertise on NSFW subs

Reddit won’t put ads on nsfw subs. Hurts reddits public image. Or at least that’s my impression of it.
Most advertisers specifically ask for their ads not to be placed next to NSFW content.
