    The decision to buy is made by numbers before the purchase: returning visitors, time spent etc. “look at how many hours of eyeballs we’re buying”

    The decision to kill the porn is made by social pressure after the purchase: “hey we’ve noticed that in your stable if brands you have some questionable materials. We can’t be associated with that kind of filth, you’re damaging our brand.” - cc processors, advertisers etc. “my wife went on that platform we just bought and you won’t believe what she found” - half the members of the board.

    Most boards are collectively moronic - rarely do you have competent people that can hold serious tense discussion and can reach conclusions without either descending into massive infighting or just coast along the dominant political players.

      Sounds like boards are just HOAs for rich people

        Most are there for the kudos and cocktail parties. They really don’t give a shit about how anything is going if it’s not sudden unless it reflects on them personally. It can’t reflect on them personally if they don’t get personally involved and just coast along instead.
