Jailbait Reddit's staff was initially opposed to the addition of obscene material to the site, but they eventually became more lenient when prolific moderators, such as a user named Violentacrez, proved capable of identifying and removing illegal content at a time when they were not sufficiently staffed to take on the task.
On September 1, 2021, Reddit banned the subreddit for brigading subreddits that criticized it.
It is also criticised for being too similar to subreddits of the manosphere.
