This is the kind of important explorative research that probably hasn't been done extensively or truthfully before, and yet shows deep insight into how the human mind works.

It's worth noting that this only contains subreddits with explicit NSWF images. There are also who knows how many subreddits that are sexual in nature, but text-only!

There's also the “well-known (in marginal circles)” map of nsfw subreddits: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/3z4k7v/map...

Using Reddit as a dataset is a regular pastime on r/dataisbeautiful, so afaik plenty of attempts have been made at this topic.

It's both beautiful and somewhat disappointing to me: It looks great but I don't get much new insight from looking at it.

This is actually false. There is a section called "literary" that includes some text-only subreddits.

or .... shows shallow insight into how the human mind organizes a vast array of similar information into buckets of similar sub-traits, which really has been done to death.
