If the apps still exists (which they won’t) they won’t see NSFW content. Since the subreddits are flooded with porn, only the 3rd party app will have those filtered out and see the actual content of the subreddit without wading through pages and pages of porn.

It’s supposed to make the site less desirable to advertisers. Reddit has continually restricted more and more of its nsfw content over the years in an attempt to appease advertisers, so this is a… provocative step in the opposite direction.

Not yet, it’s the API change that will remove NSFW content from 3rd party apps starting July 1st, but apps will be dead anyway.

The way I understand it, is that advertising money is not put into NSFW content on the site, so by making every big sub NSFW they are effectively punching reddit in the wallet and trying to make their IPO fail.
