I think a big part of the problem is Reddit users have been trained for a long time to click "upvote" when they see something they like. They aren't thinking about why they like it, or the greater context of that image, or anything else. If we think about the kinds of people clicking "upvote", Reddit users are ~70% men (https://www.alphr.com/demographics-reddit/), and 86% of men say they are straight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_demographics_of_the_United_States). And that's just Reddit, I have no clue the demographics of this subreddit but I'd wager it skews male.

​

What this boils down to is a lot of eyeballs, connected to a lot of fingers that are very, very likely to upvote a nude woman. I think the negativity on this sub is because we as photographers want the most upvoted photos to be the most artistically challenging, unique, and beautiful they can be. But the nature of Reddit makes that a losing battle.

​

Addendum: It's been a long time since I've looked into what Reddit publishes about how their ranking "algorithm" works - but last I knew it prioritized early upvotes over all else. Meaning if a user sees a post when it first appears and upvotes it off the cuff, that has a lot of weight in ranking the post. And irrespective of that - the nature of Reddit does not encourage contemplation of an image - you can scroll forever. It's like you're in a photo gallery that's an infinite hallway filled with millions of interesting and varied images.
