They're bringing back the porn?
It's disturbing how many platforms would be improved by just making that one change.
As the old saying goes, "The internet is made for porn." I'm not crazy about this whole push to mainstream the internet for the sake of advertisers. I don't give a damn about advertisers, and I don't want them to clean up the web the way Ghoul-iani cleaned up New York or people in Nevada sanitized Las Vegas.
Sadly, sanitized ad-driven walled gardens have been prevalent for some long you'll find grown-ass adults who follow and upvote blatant but barely allowed thirst traps talking that porn is evil and that those platforms are better without it. Their brains have been molded by the constraints of corporate prudishness.
I agree with most of your point, but I will say this - after Giuliani, I could walk on 8th or 9th and feel safe. Port Authority wasn't a hooker's den anymore. It might not be something you like, but in that case, the City needed to be cleaned up.
I thought they softened their stance on that already?
Nah they added a "mature" and "sexual" content option for posts but they will still restrict posts to only be visible to you. And it seems that there's no clear line. I've had posted restricted of women in bikinis
Ah, so it's even worse now?
I love !CuratedTumblr but that's as far as I go.
