    Just a wild guess but I’m thinking Reddit doesn’t actually host the content. It’s all links to a 3rd party like redgifs. Meanwhile Tumblr has the content stored within their own servers.

      It hosts now. But does so very shitty and doesn’t produce following, visibility metrics that’s instrumental in nudes posting and promotion. That’s why embedding content is preffered.
