Reddit was a hub for illegal porn so presumably, they didn't want to face a crackdown for hosting that kind of content. It still is, but nsfw posts are banned from /r/all now.

I don't think any of the porn on Reddit is illegal.

Illegal posts were never allowed, but I imagine any site focused on sharing porn is going to become filled with copyrighted content.

They also had a lot of severely creepy subreddits involving underage children or adult photos talents and shared with consent.

It was really bad. I left the site for years because that type of content was everywhere.

Except for all the revenge porn, creep shots, and the infamous "fappening" over 10 years ago
