I think it was on a podcast or something, but someone somewhere once said that people/aliens in the future might look back on our civilisation and assume so much about us from social media bots. They might think that we go around greeting each other going "Link in bio" like Vulcans say "Live long and prosper".

Linktree is a social media site that gives you a simple web page with all your links to your actual social media sites. This way, you can provide one link to your fans, taking up less space in a profile, then fans can pick and choose to follow on whichever services they prefer.

Usually, it'll be something like instagram, onlyfans, fansly; maybe some others like snapchat or kik. I think sometimes music artists use Linktree sites too, ie completely SFW, but primarily they exist for NSFW content creators.

Not to mention that plan and engagement of the NYT story is purely based on writers and potential readers relating to such fact, behave as if it is something worth of mentioning in a story in the first place borders hypocrisy... they forgot their first time got access to unlimited internet

Maybe via Meta's tracking cookies that watch all over the internet!

That wasn't even true? More evidence that the panic about porn addiction is a psyop.

Wasn't there a standard before that got superseded or derogated by some other new law basically allowing this... you can lie with no consequences in your articles and news? and I'm talking about the US back in the 90's I believe

While I'm aware that pretty much everything I do online is tracked, the stuff that's shoved at me the rare times I open instagram or facebook indicate that they are clueless about how to get me to stick around. They throw a bunch of shit at the wall (mostly soft-porn or comic strips), but never anything that makes me look twice.

Yeah I think it’s also because instagram prohibits linking directly to onlyfans, so for many it exists as an intermediary where they can still have that link but it’s not direct.

It's not recognized by any medical or psychological authority as a condition. It's being pushed.by shady Christian front groups to groom men Into sexual shame based dependence on their religion. Don't give them what they want

I don't need any authority to say something can or can't be an addiction in order to recognise when someone has an unhealthy addiction to something (is unable to regulate their consumption of said thing to the point where it significantly negatively impacts their life).

Just like you can recognise that alcoholism can be a problem without being a complete prohibitionist nutjob, it's possible to recognise porn addiction for what it is when you see it without being a puritanical nutjob. I don't have any intention of shaming anyone for watching porn, I'm just pointing out that I've seen for myself that it's possible to develop an unhealthy relationship to porn. As with any other addiction, there's usually an underlying problem that has nothing to do with the subject of the addiction.

only when it includes religious shaming, which unique to christain.

people do get desensitized down there from watching alot of porn, and there were other forums discussing thier "ED" from decade of porn watching.
