Cannot be done for lawyercat reasons.

I can't say for sure, but I suspect they are trying to push nsfw in-house for the sake of monetizing it. Nsfw drives quite a bit of traffic and with the falling out of Imgur, Reddit has become the sole host for such content. They just can't say that publicly because Reddit has a bit of problem with non-consensual material.

But wait. I have a NSFW subreddit, and reddit doesn't allow you to upload pictures directly to reddit if you're on an NSFW subreddit. Right? So how can it be the primary host?
