Reddit, very famously, had a very libertarian approach to moderation in the early days and never banned a single subreddit for the first decade of its existence, which led to some incredibly disgusting subreddits being tolerated by the Reddit admin. This only began to change in 2015, when Anderson Cooper ran a piece on R/Jailbait, which put massive pressure on Reddit. Then, a shortwhile later, someone posted a picture of their 14-year-old girlfriend, and then a bunch of weirdos proceeded to hound him, asking for CP. That was the final nail, forcing Reddit to ban R/jailbait. After this, Reddit started becoming a lot more hands-on in moderation, which has worked to massively change the culture of the site.
