i would say that nsfw content as well as grey legal content was a big part of reddits appeal. Frome homemade porn to piracy and dnm how tos up to documentation of current wars filled with gore.
It felt like users were relatively well considered self responsible adults, unlike on other platforms.
Losing that is another loss of value. all the while nsfw bans are difficult to enforce without enough moderators.
