If you want to grow, choose porn. It’s been the singular driving force in adoption since the ARPA started funding the internet.
I heard somewhere but have no source, that porn was the driving reason behind VHS becoming so popular.
Imagine spending a thousand dollar right now on technology that has two standards not compatible and who knows if it is going to even work just so you could consume one type of media in the privacy of your home. Which media would be worth this great expense and risk?
Reminds of HD-DVD vs Blu-ray. During that time I bought into neither thankfully. I recall thinking HDDVD was the way to go but didn’t wanna invest in either.
The market is already pretty saturated, though. There are so many other places to view this type of content and in a better format than a link aggregator.
Like, wouldn’t Pornhub be a more streamlined way to look at porn? Or whatever other porn website?
I never understood the appeal of porn on reddit. I always just blocked the porn subs and went about my business.
Having said all that, I totally agree that it should be allowed or perhaps even encouraged. It’s a free and open system - let the people do what they want. Even if I personally don’t understand the appeal.

People are pretty fond of the grassroots movement for independent creators to strike their own on reddit. Onlyfans is a good website for creators to monetize their content, but I don’t believe it does much for growing their following. Pornhub has gotten better for smaller creators but so many things are lost in their terrible tagging and indexing that they’re lost in the flood.
Topical community environments like reddit on the other hand let’s them show their specific content to a group that’s primed to like it. Mods are keeping the focus narrowed, so you’re less likely to compete against the same reposted clip from a decade ago that has little connection to the tags affixed. Pretty similar reasons for why it did so well on Tumblr as well.
Wouldn’t that also apply to any image content then (like comics, memes, infographics, etc)? It doesn’t stop it from being popular. The important thing is simply finding a site that allows your specific content and that doesn’t heavily compress it.
You’re probably right. I think it matters more to content creators than consumers? Like, posting porn to Reddit is often advertising? And like anything, people must get some form if satisfaction interactions on specialty subs. You can’t just go to Pornhub and upload your favorite foot porn, right? Get upvotes, get that tiny dose of dopamine. Get to comment about how beautiful the girl is, hoping maybe she’ll like your complement more than the other thirsty guys’.
Social media, man. Interaction, even meaningless… it’s its own drug.
