The soccer mom moms were first checking to make sure it was a safe site, since Anderson Cooper had recently at the time said it was a site for pedophiles.

I mean, it literally was at one point, considering that r/jailbait was massive.

    There were a ton of creepy subs. At least from what I heard. I didn’t subscribe to those. But the good subs were good. So I felt that blanket statement from AC was kind of a dick move. Especially for someone who considers himself a responsible journalist. Lost a lot of respect for him over that.

    on the one hand yeah, but on the other i had no idea about any of that when i joined in 2010, which i assume was more common. i mostly kept to small, closed communities and never saw the stuff on the front page unless i got logged out. and that was alwaysa weird experience, like the youtube trending page.
