// So Playboy isn't a porn mag then?




False analyogy. Playboy is a pornography magazine. But reddit is not playboy. Just look at the front page of reddit if you're logged in, no pornography. Create an account, no porn, etc.

If reddit is a pornography site, then so is google.


I was challenging the poor argument of the parent with an extreme example of mixed content. A newspaper, for example, will generally have no hardcore porn in it.

Reddit is a hardcore porn site, it's just it's not exclusively a hardcore porn site. Indeed in part it appears to skirt illegality without blushing. Advertisers do have problems with advertising on such sites I'm sure.

Presumably you and the parent would argue that if you advertised in Playboy next to a feature (I don't actually know the layout, I've just heard they have non-porn articles) then you wouldn't be advertising in a porn magazine?
