Didn’t Reddit ban a lot of the porn content during the same “progressive” ban wave they banned gender critical, the Donald, etc?

It's rare that Reddit bans nsfw content, the only major porn ban I'm aware of is r/jailbait and that one was banned for very good reasons. r/TheFappening and r/creepshots weren't porn but sexual exploitation.
In any case, these three bans were many years ago.
It wasn't an outright ban, but they removed nsfw subs from /r/all this year.

Reddit has more recently banned NSFW subreddits that were considered excessively violent (/r/struggleporn) or pedophilic (/r/ageplaypenpals, which was just text based).

These are niche at best, definitely not "a lot of the porn content".
> - remove the "influencer" aspects of the site. People don't need a profile with a custom picture, don't need to post to their /u/ board when they should be posting on a reddit reddit.
I think this was added for the OnlyFans pipeline. There is a massive porn community on Reddit, and the entirety of it thrives on this feature. Whether either of us want that, Reddit's decided it is a good and reliable monetary way forward.
