    I think we should try with opt-in ads.

    And it would be on me if I want to donate money, or via ads or nothing at all.

    After that we can see if that is enough or more active approach is needed.

    We can even have an opt-in for NSFW ads, which would probably make more money. Most of the time I don’t mind, it is just important that I can switch it off.

        That would be a great way to generate revenue! All of the NSFW posts pretty much anywhere are just ads anyway, can’t see the harm in letting more ads come in.

        Speaking of that, a community/ies made of authentic NSFW content would also be refreshing. I feel like “real” people that would share their NSFW are 1: Always drowned out by 10/10 OF models. They post and see they only had 4 upvotes compared to OF models getting thousands and become disheartened against posting again. Also, would be cool if they, the real, non 1%er NSFW posters could have their own space and an actual chance to be seen. Personally I don’t find the supposed “10/10’s” with fillers, fake boobs etc. Attractive at all. I really don’t.

        Let me see some ACTUAL amateurs. How are you an amateur with an OF raking in thousands+ while using a professional camera setup, someone to film, a team posting your comment etc?

        Who in their right mind considers them as amateurs? Pamela Anderson?

        Super difficult finding “real” people nowadays. Personally, the content I filmed myself of a few exes is 1000× more alluring to me than anything on the major sites bc it’s… real.

        Something about a person doing it for $ instead of just being a perv like the rest of us takes all of the fun out of it for me.

          Technically amateur generally just means independent in a lot of contexts or not trained. But yeah i get your point, a lot of OF content feels like the porn equivalent of mass produced cheap knives to me. Like i guess its fine for a 20 dollar knife, but my hundred dollar K bar is infinetly nicer and my 10 buck flea market knife made out of a burnt out car body at the flea market is more interesting.

      my fear is that instances started competing just to gain more money, because the donations are enough to cover the costs(i think was the adin of lemmy.world that said so), maybe if someone pay to the admin their product i guess it’s gonna work
