So when pornhub decided that uploading your own unverified content was too difficult because of illegal porn pissing off a good chunk of the user base and creators, you think they did that for shits and giggles?
Fuck dude you need moderators. Those moderators need policy and reporting. If you allow users to upload porn you will, not if, be forced to address illegal porn. If you do not you are very very liable for criminal trafficking charges in a worst case scenario.
So unless the mods are actively reporting and removing them yes they are going to have a bad fucking time jackass. Think through the issue a bit more rather then running your mouth with personal attacks.

You said it yourself: "you need moderators"
The rest of what you said was either irrelevant, restating that point, or just lashing out.
That unmoderated porn on a large platform is risky at best is completely obvious to even you.
Equally obvious to just about everyone else is that, given adequate common sense moderating, porn isn't inherently a legal liability and it sure as hell doesn't automatically turn into child porn like you so hysterically leapt right to when I first pointed out how alarmist you were being ๐คฆ
The is a big difference between a paid moderator and setting yourself up for legal liability trusting randoms to do it for free. Reddit has a extremely active paid team that would aggressively review this types of posts. Reddit activity searched out content and forced porn mods to study on that shit.
You have no clue what you are talking about.
Fun fact: reddit volunteer mods (most of which have now been directly or indirectly forced away by the Speznaz) did a hell of a lot better at moderating than the paid ones at Facebook, twitter and current reddit.
This might be hard for you to believe if you're American, but sometimes caring about a community and by extension about keeping it well-functioning is a better motivator than being an underpaid and overworked employee.
