  I’m not defending the guy but wasn’t it that a mod of that subreddit added him as a mod as a joke? I don’t think spez created it.

      It was always the version of events that I’ve read.

      I just did a quick search and found this, a video claiming that he was a mod, but the majority of comments indicate it’s not true and that it was debunked.

        Spez actually owns site where majority of comments stick up for said owner? Sorry man, that ain’t proof. Wtf are you sticking up for spez anyway? I don’t know anyone sane that would.

      The burden of proof is on the accusor

  It was created by Violentacrez, not spez.

  Prior to late 2012, it was possible to make someone a moderator of a subreddit without their consent, which was sometimes done as a joke or harassment. That’s why spez was briefly a moderator of r/jailbait.

    Fair point! But he still created a website that allowed that kind of content and is a POS human that deserves what he gets.

      I must also point out that he did not work at Reddit between 2009 and 2015.

      I’m not going to try to talk you out of hating spez, but maybe try hating him for something he actually did.

        Not sure what that timeframe has to do with anything.

  /u/Spez (creator of /r/jailbait)

  oh 🫣 I’ve probably heard that before but I must not have committed it to memory

  Well that explains why Reddit was so ridiculously pro-porn and porn riddles in general.

  Ironically, Huffman doesn’t seem to be in the Epstein files. This isn’t because he isn’t a pedophile-- he very likely is-- but he simply wasn’t important enough of a person for them to invite him or even talk about him.

    4chan had approximately 10x the users as reddit did in 2011 when Epstein and Poole connected.

    But ya fuck u/spez. Even the biggest losers on earth hate u/spez
