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.

It wasn't. But it was pretty bad PR for the site.

This is why people as misreading you.

"It wan't" is not super clear. If you said "it wasn't popular" people would understand you better.

I'm confused by what you're even getting at here.
