“Q3 was a strong quarter,” Huffman said on Thursday’s earnings call, in which he lauded Reddit as being “for humans by humans” and seemed to take a subtle dig at AI slop (the low-quality AI content clogging corners of the internet): “Reddit is in a unique position; we’re not trying to be the next anything. We’re focused on being the best version of ourselves and what the internet needs most: a place where people can connect on almost any topic and find genuinely useful information.”
Not to defend it but people have a bit of selective bias here as it was not “very young girls” but <18. Still nasty but it was not out right full pedo shit and more geared to cringe teen culture at the time of “I’m 18 but this 17 year old is jail bait”. Then the subreddit became a big free speech topic and people straight up started posting young teens to really push the topic which proved reddit’s free speech stance wrong and they banned the subreddit.
