It honestly doesn’t even seem unlikely to me. Like, one of Reddit’s most active power-users was an eccentric and narcissistic rich pedophile, wow, what a surprise. I would’ve assumed they all are.

Reddit literally hosted one of the Internets largest forums for child pornography for years (only shutting it down after they got bad press on CNN), and even gave the man modding said forum a trophy. I couldn’t be less shocked if Ghislane Maxwell really was an early power-user there.

I can’t find a pic of the golden bobblehead they gave him but they 10000% did give him a physical, shiny, golden, snoo bobblehead because they liked him so much BECAUSE HE RAN A CHILD PORN SUBREDDIT.

i have no idea. last i heard he had leveraged his posting skills to get a legit job as an advertising person or something like that and that was like the most interesting thing about him

never really understood people’s fascination with him tbh. he reposted things, oh no. like yeah he demonstrates some of the flaws inherent to the reddit “system” but that’s not his fault lol

You might be thinking of violentacrez, who moderated and founded a bunch of awful subreddits like r/jailbait and a bunch of racist ones.

He got exposed and fired from his job and he was like “noooo I was just trolling bro I swear”

There was also atnorman, who got arrested for some pedo stuff I don’t remember the details about. The only links I can find about it go to r/chapotraphouse
