L4sBotYou Can't Look at Porn on Any Reddit Third-Party App Now
HazdazRIP In Pieces Reddit. This is what will finally kill that site.
So how’s the pr0n scene on Lemmy? Asking for a friend.
Do we really need porn Here?
Im trying to figure that out for myself.
𝕽𝖚𝖆𝖎𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖌𝖍If you want to grow, choose porn. It’s been the singular driving force in adoption since the ARPA started funding the internet.
The market is already pretty saturated, though. There are so many other places to view this type of content and in a better format than a link aggregator.
Like, wouldn’t Pornhub be a more streamlined way to look at porn? Or whatever other porn website?
I never understood the appeal of porn on reddit. I always just blocked the porn subs and went about my business.
Having said all that, I totally agree that it should be allowed or perhaps even encouraged. It’s a free and open system - let the people do what they want. Even if I personally don’t understand the appeal.
That’s true for most professional varieties of porn, but it’s amateur content direct from the makers that’s the unique niche. I’m sure there are plenty of other places that do that as well though. Personally I never cared about porn on reddit either.
People are pretty fond of the grassroots movement for independent creators to strike their own on reddit. Onlyfans is a good website for creators to monetize their content, but I don’t believe it does much for growing their following. Pornhub has gotten better for smaller creators but so many things are lost in their terrible tagging and indexing that they’re lost in the flood.
Topical community environments like reddit on the other hand let’s them show their specific content to a group that’s primed to like it. Mods are keeping the focus narrowed, so you’re less likely to compete against the same reposted clip from a decade ago that has little connection to the tags affixed. Pretty similar reasons for why it did so well on Tumblr as well.
