Steemit porn! Why should we get rid of it?steemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemit7 years ago

I'm still new here on steemit, and as soon as I joined steemit I noticed abundance of porn gifs and videos being spammed 24-7. Why is that even a thing over here? I guess it's allowed and people want to earn easy money on random horny men.

But there is abundance of porn sites at witch you can earn much more money. Those sites are aimed at people looking for actual porn, and thus certainly getting more traffic. Porn on steemit is just an eyesore on this growing platform, and I think nobody would miss if this content were to be removed from this site. Those gifs did not, and will not make this platform a better place.

And yes, you can disable “NSFW” posts, but I'm a kind of person that likes to see everything posted at the moment. NSFW does not imply porn, it could be anything related to injury, harassment, and other gruesome shit. But porn has no place here!

I'm speaking on gifs/videos downloaded from porn sites and reposted for quick buck. To be honest I have no ill will against people that write fantasy stories or blog posts containing adult content.

I want to hear your opinion down in comments. Have a nice day!

Be respectful, up vote, comment, follow, steemit resteemit!
More stories to come…

Sort:  

You can not censor freedom of expression on here. The system is not built for that. This is a decentralized self-censoring platform. The community on here is good about being discreet and about keeping it out of reach.

If you find something that could be offensive to someone else, please comment on it and resolve it. You'll work something out. We are responsible for one another here.

and welcome to SteemIt

Thanks

Just saying we shouldn't welcome this content for reasons in post

If you do not welcome it, then vote it down. If enough people vote it down, it will get kicked out of the Steam. It's a democracy.

Or if people dont agree with your down vote, they will down vote you in turn.

then that will be a waste of everyones voting power.

I think the same. I see lots of them in new category. It looks like bot. Its a waste of space here and waste of rewards which could upvote something more valuable . I once clicked flag on one of those but have not enough power. I dont come

hey bro i am also from split croatia :) i give you more free money when i have the chance, mozemo se zajedno followati i te gluposti :Đ

Personally, I am grateful for decentralized freedom

I think the answer is pretty simple:
Until steemit creates its own form of sexual/porn consumption that isn't annoying, random horny men who are on here will go to the porn that currently exists, in whatever form.

I'm not for it. I've seen it and it's shit.

But I will not censor it, nor can we.

I just think trying to fend it off is a dead horse in the water.

How can steemit innovate for sexuality and sexual enjoyment?

Turn the vice into a virtue.
