Apparently Reddit is now switching these new NSFW subs back to being SFW.
My current view of Reddit is that I hope they crash and burn.

as they remove more and more mods from subs replacing them with yes men
Would it be easy to find new moderators though? Who would want to moderate for Reddit at this stage? I think most of the people who would show any interest in moderating are currently too angry with Reddit to want to do it.
This is similar to me. I used Reddit's official app, so initially I wasn't bothered by 3rd party apps going away. But seeing Reddit's response, which is basically "users will bow down and do what we want, they will generate revenue for us and not complain, and we will never listen to them", is what made me not want to use Reddit again. So now I'm not using it.
This is completely dystopian.
As others have said, Elon should test this on himself before he tests it on others, if he's really so confident in it.
It is inevitable that this will have negative health effects, and when that happens, Elon will just wipe his hands and say "not my problem".
They might keep those users more engaged with this new app though. The Twitter format might be more successful for facilitating outrage and arguments than the Facebook format is.
And more engagement means more adverts shown and thus more revenue.
