Hide/Show NSFW feature – Return it to original location

Most of what is posted on VideoSift is suitable for work, but a large chunk is not. This is no surprise to registered members, but may be completely unknown to unregistered viewers. Why? Because right now, by default, all NSFW content is hidden unless you take the following steps:

1. Look for the New Users button
2. Click Quick Options
3. Then select 'show' for NSFW Content

That's not user-friendly to the casual viewer. For such a viewer, going through three steps just to reveal content that you never knew was hidden in the first place is ridiculous. It's not like any page at all on VideoSift says “We have NSFW content, but you have to figure out how to view it yourself,” and the New Users buttons is not intuitive enough for most unregistered viewers to make this discovery. This has to change.

This is how the old NSFW button appeared. It's right upfront, no successive clicking is needed to find it. That's where it needs to be returned to.

Here is how our front page should look with the NSFW button restored. It doesn't look cluttered at all to add the NSFW button. It also belongs there because it expands and contracts the total number of videos you're able to view. The NSFW button also should be added to the Unsifted page.

One more thing: make NSFW videos viewable by default. That's the way it used to be, and it won't hurt to return it to that way because all NSFW videos should be clearly tagged with the bright red NSFW tag in the first place. You can't give a much better warning than that. As far as entertainment sites go this place is safer than most for work, so we don't need to oversanitize and Disneyfy it.

Please return the NSFW button to its original location, and please make NSFW content viewable by default. It will improve the experience for VideoSift's unregistered viewers, who greatly outnumber registered viewers. Their ease of use should be just as important as ours, maybe even more so. Let's make it happen.

I want a sandwich.
