> What the hell was reddit doing that they didn't immediately implement an image hosting feature to keep users on the platform
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

Ohhhhhh think again
