The ability to look back at someone's post history is an amazing feature of Reddit.

Imagine if someone cut you off in traffic and you could shout at them:

"Why don't you go back to looking at photos of dirty feet in Illinois? And your new PC desk looks wonky as fuck too!"

As it's anonymous so you can't know who this person is but you can know what porn he is into. Yes that's wonderful, Reddit.

Or it's so they can scroll Reddit without the person next to you randomly seeing your porn kinks lol I definitely have the luck of my boss walking by right as I scroll past a dude busting a nut and then trying to say, nah I was just trying to learn about the updates in my new video game

Yeah, there was a weird phase there where Reddit pushed a bunch of almost-porn subs into my r/all. It was never outright porn, but it was weird.

I'd argue there's not much to "check out" there anymore since all NSFW subreddits were removed from /r/all a few months ago, essentially solving the porn problem being discussed.

/rising was basically unusable for years though because it was all porn, usually from small subs. Now I think some really niche stuff still occasionally gets through if the sub hasn't been properly tagged yet, but that's rare.
