I’ve heard and have no source for this, but most of the bigger porn subreddits were basically run by people who had a ton of money trying to push their own content to the top to generate revenue.
Makes sense considering how 99% of the porn accounts had titles such as "WHOEVER LIKES THIS WILL GET SOMETHING FREE IN THEIR INBOX, TRY ME!"
Like damn, thousands of porn accounts made posts like this. Obviously they all hired spam companies to do it for them but what kind of ad company can't take the time to even learn the basics about the website they're advertising on? Really amazed me how few of the accounts seemed to actually be human, and even if human absolutely not the content creators themselves
