If you really want to sabotage, just upload lots of videos to subreddits that you can't advertise on.

so use Reddit for exclusively porn? way ahead of you

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 83 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Im betting porn only has a year or 2 left on reddit. They already been slowly purging for years. Got to keep the advertisers happy.

[–] Gigan@lemmy.world 49 points 10 months ago (4 children)

There was some other social media site that banned porn a few years ago, I think it was Tumblr? I wonder how that worked out for them.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago

Let me check my Tumblr, oh wait. I don't have one.

[–] Bipta@kbin.social 33 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Tumblr reversed their ban a year ago, so that's pretty self evident.

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It was only a partial reversal from what I've heard.

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What's even there now? I only knew of tumbler because of the anime titties.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 10 months ago

It's been pretty active all this time tbh. I didn't notice getting worse, but then I was never there for the porn.

Maybe not active in the right way from an advertising perspective idk, but it's never been lacking good content.

OnlyFans tried a while back. There was probably some internal political maneuvering going on with that one.

[–] trk@aussie.zone 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Isn't the whole point of that platform porn though?

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Tells you how scarred advertisers are of a titty.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 3 points 10 months ago

OnlyFans isn't funded by advertising. It appears to be the credit card industry at the heart of this one.

2 years left till the inevitable porn ban on reddit and 3 years till that decision kills them

[–] knobbysideup@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But they killed APIs entirely for nsfw, so that is broken now too.

[–] Salix@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You can technically just make yourself a mod of your own private subreddit, then NSFW works fine with the API. It works with RedReader. I still use Reddit a bit for very niche subreddits.

[–] RadialMonster@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Reddit doesn't allow NSFW videos on their own hosting service

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Lemmy has way better quality porn

[–] joshoff@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 10 months ago

Not if you’re gay

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago
