And that's what did them in. It was inevitable from the beginning, what happened was only a matter of time. Porn kills monetization and having a userbase that insists on having porn will consequently kill your platform. It may seem to be running smoothly for a while, but that's just borrowed time.
- thescribbblr 7y agoWhy NSFW contents became problem for both Tumblr and now Imgur? Anything specific?
- djsumdog 7y agohmm .. so do you think Reddit is going to hit the same issue soon? I wonder if Reddit will ban all NSFW subs within the next year or two.
- catalogia 7y agoIt's not clear to me how important porn is to reddit; it's possible reddit could ban porn without upsetting most of their users. Not every site with porn is doomed. In the long run though, I expect reddit to ban porn. It might be a few more years, there are a lot of factors in play, including the patience of their investors and whether or not an influential media company decides to do an exposé on reddit hosting amateur pornography without vetting peoples' ages and/or hosting professional pornography in violation of copyright law.
- lonelappde 7y agoIt's bizarre that porn kills things that seem to only die when the porn leaves, and the most successful non porn content is softcore porn.
