      Seriously, this is hardly a new trend for Reddit. There’ve been tons of hookup subreddits for years now.

      Sounds like a disappointment speedrun to me.

    Hey maybe let’s not vilify the nsfw subs that are doing nothing wrong. The anti adult content trend recently is really disturbing and is pushing the culture war in the states trying to outright ban porn.

      I think it’s more the blending of people advertising their adult content with those presumably looking for genuine connections that people have a problem with. A lot of niche interest subs have rules around self-promotion and people looking to advertise products for what I think are similar reasons.

      Yeah all that shit is getting pretty wild. A bunch of stuffy prudes are freaking out about changing social/cultural norms.

      I also think this latest war on porn is a low key cover to undermine online security/privacy/encryption.

      It’s about control really. The powers that be are afraid people are talking online about how things could be better and they don’t want that.

      If you want to control people go after their biological needs.

      1. Food
      2. Sleep
      3. Sex

    This is basically an ad saying “if you want to get laid visit reddit.” Honestly reddit probably suggested it. They’re going to coin the phrase “reddit and chill.”

      “and thirty minutes later a man posted being interested”, “the market is enormous”

      Like wow, a guy looking for a hookup, how hard is that to find lol.

      Yeah feels like a paid for opinion-publicity. Of course you have to use their shitty app to see NSFW now too so a win win right!!

    Years ago, I had some success with these subreddits. In recent years, not so much. IF you could meet the various requirements to post, you would be flooded with some combination of OnlyFans accounts, literal scam attempts, and/or occasional actual prostitutes. But mostly the first two. More than one girl I reached out to had a long list of rules for guys who wanted to message her. Just a whole bunch of bullshit. And the “local” subreddits are 99.99999% spam accounts.

    Those hookups are full of scams and cops.

    Ask me how I know.

    You all were hooking up?

    I thought those were people pushing OF content. Or if it was happening, it was only in really big cities.

      Big cities are so overrated for the dating scene. You don’t have to go all the way to Falador to meet someone sexy. I met my gf in the Lumbridge general store.

          I met mine in wildy. She took my stuff and disappeared. Was worth it.

        Don’t look for hookups in West Ardougne unless you have lots of penicillin.

      Oh yeah I remember those things. All my friends who use reddit have like 20 of those onlyfans bots following them. Like how did that ever become a thing!?

      I won’t. That’s a terrible law and its use should never be celebrated, even against someone we don’t like.

    And I bet most of it is fake/bots or shilling for an Onlyfans account.
