But they killed APIs entirely for nsfw, so that is broken now too.
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.
Reddit doesn't allow NSFW videos on their own hosting service
Lemmy has way better quality porn
Disagree. Lemmy's porn in like 75% just bots reposting content.
Although this is to be expected, and at least this means we have content, it is also a bit unfortunate.
The Bot content is utter garbage. A good chunk of it is reddit links to old stuff. I'm sick of seeing Bot posts from reddit where someone posted a question 3 years ago.
Failing company rooted in a more traditional framework they're trying to break out of
Said company has no idea what they're doing and keep doing ridiculous things to "break out of" traditional framework
Keeps doing things no user/customer asked for
Said company has no real effective long-term game-plan and keeps changing tack because of bad previous choices
There's a good chance the company could go completely bust because of lack of good business plan and solid leadership
Redditors: Reddit is the new GameStop!! DRS!! MOASS!!!
Keeps doing things no user/customer asked for
I'm pretty sure the advertisers - their real customers - asked them to show more ads.
Huffman is ostensibly following Elon Musk's lead, and last I checked, Musk had pretty effectively chased away a massive amount of what one might call "rational" advertisers. Reddit is absolutely following a similar path, and soon enough there will be advertisers who no longer want to be associated with a toxic brand.
It's not just similarities; Steve Huffman is openly and directly copying Musk. Honestly, given Ex-Twitter's performance, I have no idea why any investors are allowing that.
spez doesn't care. He's realized that, despite his best befuddled efforts, reddit is failing and that no one else will hire him for a cushy CEO job. He wants to take his bag and leave while the getting is still (relatively) good.
Dont forget the booooots sooo mannny boooots how the hell are there such low effort bots everywhere on that site
Blatantly wrong
I fucking love dumbshit comments like these!
"I'm going to say this comment is totally wrong, but I don't actually care enough about the issue to explain it or use more than *checks notes... two words to justify my position."
Fucking hilarious, every time.
It's unlikely I'll write a longer answer on my phone. But if all you have is ridicule again, and insults, I'll leave you with some short thoughts.
Gamestop has been doing fairly well, looking at financials. And people complain about not owning their virtual stuff, which NFT smart contracts could be a solution for. I don't necessarily agree on the the specifics for blockchain based solution though, nor did I like the picturefest which only obfuscated good use cases.
Edit: unlike of course vague half truths
Imagine simping for NFTs in 2024.
It's a technology, simple as. But since we're back at the start, who profits the most from not moving status quo?
What other viable and available technology options are there for a system where the consumer can somewhat freely do what they want with digital assets?
And wtf simping? Wat

NFTs do nothing to help this.
How do you figure?
In that they do nothing to fix it. How do you figure they would work? Or do you expect me to prove a negative? Have you stopped beating your wife yet?
But it does work? And just fundamentally why wouldn't it as a concept?
Gods Unchained, immutable X. NFT is a back-end tech and no one should buy anything just because it is a NFT. The whole idea is to add to the value proposition for the customer/end user
No, it does not work. It's a URL that's attached to a blockchain. That's it. The URL can disappear, or you can create a parallel blockchain with the same URL given to someone else.
Have you stopped beating your wife yet?
What's with the straw men? Make your point only instead.
That could be applied to anything, stuff on Steam only exist as long as Steam does or allows it to, however does the "URL" have to be accepted if it's out of network? I don't think it does. Still, there are inherent flaws in a blockchain system.
Much like I can make a fake cd key and try to use matlab, but they won't accept it
When can we start shorting the stock? /s
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
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.
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.
Let me check my Tumblr, oh wait. I don't have one.
Tumblr reversed their ban a year ago, so that's pretty self evident.
It was only a partial reversal from what I've heard.
What's even there now? I only knew of tumbler because of the anime titties.
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.
Isn't the whole point of that platform porn though?
Tells you how scarred advertisers are of a titty.
OnlyFans isn't funded by advertising. It appears to be the credit card industry at the heart of this one.
I think it was Freakonomics that did a series on it? But yeah, quite an interesting and convoluted series of events.
They reversed the ban and in any case, there was still a shit ton of porn on the site, it was just written rather than drawn.
But they killed APIs entirely for nsfw, so that is broken now too.

Maybe so, but it doesn't have my porn
brb time to launch my porn career!

Ostensibly? I think you mean obviously/openly.

Prob didnt need the /s
It takes a few weeks for options to become available, but they will.
If you have a shit ton of money you can buy shorts directly.
Why do ya need tons of money for shorts? I can buy some $15 shorts at Walmart just easily.
