You seem to admit that the accusations are valid, but are also claiming that this type of reporting is a hit piece. How do you square those two?
Also Reddit has been on the receiving end of this reporting before. That has often resulted in incremental improvements as the worst offending subreddits are banned (there used to be an /r/jailbait for example), but their model often doesn't kill that content or the demand for it and can result in that same content being dispersed among smaller and more niche communities that are able to glide under the radar. Reddit has still thrived throughout all that controversy so I don't think it is as big an existential threat as you claim.
- enumjorge 6y agoThe entire comment borders on nonsensical. Something about how board members should watch videos of alleged sexual abuse, some of it involving minors, before their companies make decisions that could impact PornHub? What??
- slg 6y agoI think that is an uncharitable interpretation of that comment. I read it as OP saying that those people likely watched unverified content that is now down, not necessarily illegal content. It is basically an accusation of puritanical hypocrisy. However the problem with that accusation is that it is extremely difficult to distinguish the unverified and illegal content, especially at scale, and it is why Pornhub went with this extreme measure to remove all unverified content.
