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.

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

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?

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Tells you how scarred advertisers are of a titty.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

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.
