A platform without ads or evil corpo ownership? Yeah, I'd scared too.

He's referencing /r/jailbait which was super popular on Reddit till they banned it.

I found the existence of the sub fuckjng appalling but it was also arguably a big part of the enshittifstion of Reddit. Like. I hate that it existed but it wasn't illegal.

It wasnt illegal if people only posted girls over 18 but thats not the case. There were a ton of under 18s being posted. When it was banned the sub pivoted to some like "fashion" sub and continued posting under 18s and 18s for plausible deniability.

I stand corrected then.

I thought its whole loophole thing was that it was legal which is why something that disgusting wasn't removed.

I don't know how they didn't remove something that was actually illegal from the site earlier. Double gross. Evil. Ew.

I doubly don't understand why something that was illegal wasn't removed WAY earlier.

The issue is when the entire sub is filled with people who look young enough to be under 18 its very hard for admins to tell when they're actually under 18. After the ban the fashion sub posted people clearly under 18 and used the excuse that its fine because they're clothed and they're just reviewing the fashion.
