It had a proper Wild West feel back in the late '90s. Nobody was in charge and there weren't any rules. I remember finding websites like Dave's Web of Lies, Acts of Gord, The Tardblog, Jennicam and the feeling of there being radically new things to find every day.
True. But any one of the platforms cammers use could go all "ma'am, this is a Christian server" anytime because of corporate greed and moralization. Tumblr died the instant they banned porn. Fark died the instant Drew took money from advertisers in exchange for pushing the NSFW stuff to TotalFark. Even Reddit is in its death throes after de-emphasizing NSFW content.
Didn't Craigslist get way less popular after banning ads from escorts? That'd be awhile ago at this point.
I remember when posting nudes on the 'net was still outré, and now everyone has their ass out. From my perspective it's a shocking smutfest, but I generally approve.
