Yup couldn't agree more. I think that's also why certain big name stars get really popular, they are freaks and they are genuinely loving what they are doing - that comes across the screen, no matter how good of an actress/actor you are... also another reason why there are niches for couples, as that intimacy is hard to fake.

Don't forget the day OnlyFans announced it was going to go clean. That was a long week or so before they walked that back.

It is also interesting to notice the OF actually isn't all adult content.

They ban a shitton of kinks on OF, you can't even piss on there. It's incredibly censored because of the payment processors.

...get along with banks that would normally turn their nose up to a literal porn site..

Ohhhh, banks and big corporations have quietly had their fingers in Adult Entertainment for decades.

One of my favorite gay porn actors - who was also a phenomenally proportioned model, which was how I first discovered him - gave many interviews while he was in the business and he often stated that the public would be surprised by who the backers and investors in a lot of the studios and sites really were. Big business and finance.

Isn't that just another centralized reddit clone like Voat or Tildes? The top/most active communities also aren't promising... Right-libertarians and Ancaps 😒

Not sure how that would be better than just spooling up another lemmy/piefed instance that allows for NSFW. The big advantage of federation is that the rest of us can continue on even if some instances like LemmyNSFW falter, where as if you ever decided to shut down goatmatrix, that's it, all of it is gone.

EDIT:

'Matrix is a free speech platform.

Uh oh...

But just like there are people whose idea of internet fun is complain-tainment, there are people who are on the internet for argu-tainment. Again. They should go elsewhere. I get it. It's fun for some people. But not every place needs to be a dive bar. Those exist on the internet. Go to them. And the last is similar to the others. I'm trying to find the best way to phrase it, but it is trying to show off how much of a worthless asshole you are. Sounds like an odd thing to do. But again, this is entertainment for some people, and if you don't show them the door, they will think the place is built for them. And if it is built for them, it can't be built for the folks at the top of the pyramid. And that's just who I want to build this place for.

So will these behaviors at the bottom lead to a ban? No. We are testing if a different model is possible. We will ask them to leave and make a conscious choice not value their kind of content. If you show up to someone's party and start messing up the place, and it isn't that kind of party, they are going to ask you to leave. If someone does, be a developed human being and just leave. In real life, manners would and should work. So why not the internet?

That seems... Very optimistic.

What behaviors will lead to a ban? Is it so free-speech that someone could start an openly white nationalist or neo-nazi community there? If so, that's how you get Nazi-bars (which is why Voat failed).

Accidents happen.. Yup.

Just like when Demonoid finally went down after Deimos died in an accident in 2018. Some of the other admins tried to keep it up but the community spirt there died with his death.

Happens.

It pisses me off that my first thought upon reading this was to wonder if he got disappeared by ICE.

I think the SSL certificate expired

Some people like your typical boobies and such, but sometimes an obscure, highly specific community will get a huge boost of activity by one enthusiastic uploader and the main Lemmy front page will be swamped with posts from c/amputeesPeeingOnFabrigeEggs or something

One may want to have adult conversations without seen porn. A NSFW filter is quite blunt.
