Rampant onlyfans promo on as many communities as possible.

Why are so many people hating on the only fans girls? It's free nudes you get for zero effort. These thots filled every niece subreddit with content. Why not let them get some advertisement from it. That's a win win in my book

Sure, but not on a subreddit about cat gifs

[–] forvirreth 10 points 2 years ago

Yes and no to an extent. I support them being able to advertise for their stuff somewhere, but subs need to take a stance on what they allow. So much you see on reddit is the same photo x-posted to 50 subs and often not "fitting" into the sub, it just becomes spammy.

Stuff like gonewild becomes wildly different if it becomes just a promotion-sub. Can't there just be that instead?

I don't mind if it's quality, topical content. But a lot of them going hard on min-maxing the effort for the advertising value by cross-posting the same few shots and generic titles to multiple communities and platforms.

[–] anon6789 2 points 2 years ago

Exactly, at that point they're just ads to me. They're not for your enjoyment, they're a free trial to sell you things.
