To be fair pornhub had to nuke the majority of their user submitted content because they couldn’t evidence that it wasn’t illegal. I can understand a company that doesn’t actually want to be a porn site just blanket banning.
Reddit is the only site I’ve seen that had a problem with it actually handle it, Twitter absolutely didn’t, insta didn’t, Tumblr didn’t, 4chan kind of did but became a klan rally in exchange so I’m not really sure you can call that success
Er… Tumblr spent many years trying to combat all the cp on their site. They were losing, so banning porn entirely just made the most sense. Did it suck? Yea. But it wasn’t the end of Tumblr.
There are ways to handle illegal porn other than a blanket ban on all porn. Pretty much every site can manage it, including reddit and twitter.

So the answer was unpaid mods all along.
