Why the hell is every app and program out there just being prude bitches and making porn harder to access?

        Ha, I sent a very long and furious email to my (Labour) MP when that law got introduced, basically saying excuse me I’m a woman that squirts, what are you as a fellow woman going to do about a law that says that’s a deviant and obscene act? And got completely ignored - usually I got a generic response from her on other issues, on that I just got tumbleweed.

        (And before I get any thirsty messages, I’m menopausal and that bitch has dried up. Nothing to see, move on.)

        • Good on you for weirding out your MP! Let them know how perverted they should really be in the parliament (they’re your representative after all).

      If you make money through ads, you either use one of the few companies that accept porn

      I don’t get this one. Why won’t people advertise on porn sites? A people who watch porn less likely to be customers? Or are they just as good, and there’s a huge market untapped outside of gambling and porn and everyone should advertise their services on porn sites? Or is it that the only companies that are good at figuring out what specific ads to show just refuse, and in an alternate reality where they didn’t you could just as easily advertise on NSFW websites?

    Advertisers don’t like it, and won’t advertise where there’s porn. Advertisers pay for most of these websites’ existence. They capitulate to the demands.

      Every porn site I’ve ever been too is loaded with ads so they can’t be too bad. I will admit almost every ad is for other porn sites/scams

      An adjacent question that you brought to mind, why are people so intent on using “apps” for everything. It feels as if browsers have been all but forgotten despite filling the same role, but often better.

        On the one hand you’re right, but on the other I feel like a lot of stuff has become browser based (like text editors, code editors, even music editors and perhaps video editors someday), all thanks to Web Assembly and how complex a lot of web apps have become.

        It feels like people use everyday stuff through apps, and more complex stuff through browsers nowadays. Roles may slowly invert at some point if it keeps going this way.

        Because a lot of websites still look and function really bad on mobile devices, and a lot of people nowadays only have mobile devices.

          Hard disagree. Having everything in one browser app and switching between tabs is much faster than switching apps. If it’s something that does more heavy lifting like a game or file browser or something sure it makes sense to have an app but just consuming content can be done in a browser just as easily.

        I only ever see it on /c/all, and it’s relatively little and it’s all vanilla, single naked model, still photo shit. Basically as non-pornographic porn can get while still being porn (aka: OnlyFans ads and reposted Celeb shit).

        I was here slightly before the exodus, and the most hilarious post-exodus post I saw was people saying “our lemmy porn is normalizing, we’re finally becoming a place open for normies”, where the OP was saying that the Furries were going away. The thing is: Furries were NEVER a sizable, noticeable presence on Lemmy to begin with. This isn’t Blueskies, the community isn’t suspiciously a bunch fo bara fur enjoyers. And they said that around the time Burggit opened up and being talked a bunch as the place to defederate, meaning degeneracy was going UP.

        So basically, People who complain about Porn on Lemmy just confuse me. Tech, Sports and Politics shit are actual garbage that ACTUALLY floods the entire dashboard.

      that’s your choice, and that’s entirely fine. but it’s different when a platform deliberately makes it inaccessible.

    • I like porn. I’m a fan. But I’m with you on that. If I want it, I know where to get it. It’s not really why I’m here.

      Also, it really ruins it for me that because it’s all user -contributed, it feels like being recommended porn by a creepy, off-puttingly thirsty highschooler. Given the demographics in places like this, that may actually be somewhat close to reality

      I can understand why a person has no interest in it and I personally don’t need to access it but I also don’t really care if it available. I do not become offended if it is available.

      In reality I am far more uncomfortable with violent content yet they seem to get far less attention then porn.

        I mean, I block it as well, not because I’m a prude, but because I want to read stuff etc. without looking at naked bodies. When I want to get funky, I switch to my other account which is only subscribed to porn.

          They probably meant the other definition of instance. Although I don’t know how many of those there are, haven’t run into any of them myself. I’ve seen usernames from what must be the one you’re referring to, but luckily haven’t run into any content from it.

    Competition is so cutthroat. If you started a new porn service today there would CSAM on your servers tomorrow.

    Would it be actionable? Diubtful. Not to say it isn’t happening out there but these incidents are largely competition playing dirty.

    I base this on nothing. Welcome to the internet.

      I guess you assume it would allow user submissions to reduce costs? If it was curated or first party content only I can’t see how that would happen. But I’m sure the profits are worth spreading and enabling csam.

      Obviously this is not competitive, because the mainstream has decided the cheapest route is worth the consequences. Unless there’s regulation I don’t see it changing.

    Advertising is the big one. Many companies simply don’t want to advertise anywhere where porn is present even if it’s segregated.

    Payment processors is the next big one. Most processors won’t service porn sites which makes it hard to collect money for sites with porn. You get stuck with worse service and higher rates.

    Legal compliance is another big problem. Lots of countries have lots of different laws and operating a porn website can get you in trouble in places you weren’t aware of if you aren’t careful. You need to verify ages, and consent of both users and models. In some countries simply looking younger than 18/whatever age can be a problem.

    Overall if a site has mixed content, it can be much less hassle and much more income to drop the porn if there’s sufficient non-porn content.

        A month or two ago I was helping my sister-in-law’s late 60’s father fix his GMC Canyon, and he pulled up a repair video on youtube on his phone. We left it playing as we worked, and then it went to a several minute long ad for penis pills which was awkward as fuck since I wasn’t sure if it was based off his search history or just that he’s an old man and targeted advertising. He also recently got a new girlfriend which muddied the water as I was pondering those two possibilities.

      Why isn’t it advertising friendly? Is there some reason getting someone to go to your website from a porn site or app is less helpful than getting them to go there from somewhere else?

    Because people don’t want to look at other people’s unusual niche kinks and try to identify if it contains children or other non-consenting participants as a part of their employment. And then try to explain to the people about why the unusual niche is against the rules when they receive a complaint about its removal. Amongst so many other reasons.

    Programs and apps on the internet are not simple things and user-generated content can be a very malicious and dangerous thing to have a copy of. The legal risk alone is not worth it, let alone the effort required to enable a slightly easier masturbatory experience for total strangers.

    Actually a skill issue.

    Seriously, don’t even leave this site, just go to the search bar and look up whatever you’re into, there’s probably a comm specifically for it. Even you sounding freaks.
