More surprised this hasn’t happened already.

The NSFW subs are the most logical targets. It can be spun as those mean advertisers not wanting to be on the same page as someone getting spitroasted. But it also has the added benefit of making any “protest” of flagging a board as NSFW almost immediately anger the users more than the corporate staff because those jokes about how paw patrol is NSFW means that “nobody” can access it anymore. Although, that might run afoul of the various puritan laws the US is pushing to get rid of porn sites.

I also fully expect there to be a way to restrict comments to subscribers either on a per board basis or site overall. Stuff like fauxmoi already get off on only allowing “regulars” to comment (which massively boosts engagement) and I can see places like squaredcircle turn that on for any AMA to avoid the problems of people tearing into shitheads who just want to advertise their book.
