I know that’s a funny bit of trivia to bring up, but the actual reason that was the case is because once upon a time the mod of a Subreddit could add other users as mods without needing them to accept. Someone added his account as a mod and the dude likely didn’t even notice. He probably has some assistant running his account.
Reddit has turned into a dumpster fire, and that dude is like all the other greedy billionaires, but I don’t think it’s necessary to perpetuate false facts.
There was a lot of dodgy stuff on Reddit. Whether or he personally knew about all of it is one thing, but Reddit as a company allowed it up until it became fiscally advantageous to remove it. It was never about censorship vs free speech like the end users always argue about.

There’s no way he did not know about the /r/jailbait sub, and he and reddit at large, allowed it for a long time
