Source? I am happy to shit on spez, but my sphincter’s aim must be true.

He awarded a unique "pimp daddy" trophy to the creator of the sub and was suspected to be active on there under an Alt account. He also publicly defended the sub as a demonstration of free speech as the ceo of reddit and it didn't actually get removed until it became a big deal in the news and they got really bad PR. You can find out a little more from this post a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks. Direct link to the pimp daddy comment:

It's not just that he allowed them to exist, he created a special one-of-a-kind "Pimp Daddy" trophy to award to the moderator of r/jailbait and r/creepshots.

There is some whitewash in the comments there: "[violentacrez] received the trophy because all the work he did to moderate the site..." as if he got the award for keeping things clean, but consider that he contributed the vast majority of those subreddits' content himself by cruising social media for salacious pictures of minors to share while he was in his 40's, and the award is named "Pimp Daddy."

IIRC Violentacerz modded like 50 different porn subreddits, and he did a goob job by moderation standards so he was appreciated by the admins for being the overseer of the porny side of reddit.

It was over four hundred at his peak.

When they sent him the award and made a huge fuss over him, they were pretty open that it was largely due to him that the site had been able to keep NSFW content and not have it be a legal impossibility.

Good link, thanks.

People are trying to act like he got the award for only moderating jailbait are wrong.

Gotta add that to my repertoire.
