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 ๐Ÿคฆ

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.
