ALERT! This is a massive clickbait, and you should never consider this disgraceful and sinful act on Hive, but continue reading anyway."
So I was going about my daily routine on Twitter when I noticed one porn content that had millions of views. This was not the first time I would seen it; most of the time, they get crazy bookmarks and quotes, and the comment sections are extremely outrageous.
Now, it is not necessarily visual pornography, but the drooling and paint pictures give you the impression that it is. Personally, I do not believe this is for monetary gain or traction, but it is not a new phenomenon that pornographic content sells.
This has been demonstrated in the porn industry as a whole, with some people suddenly opening only-fans pages to make money, and others paying exorbitant prices for such content.
Now you might think the X algorithm would do something to curtail this incessant contents, but it's surprising how you've never ever clicked a porn content before, yet you'll get them on your "for you" Twitter section page.
I click on a lot of political and crypto content but never on pornographic content, so why does the algorithm bring it up?
The Bot Algorithm On Twitter Sees The Population As Perverts
I believe the algorithm suggests it because it sees how many people are max-clicking it and assumes that everyone will be interested. It is exactly like how advertising works. People are recommended the most popular product because they believe they will be interested if others are.
It is like a robot algorithm saying "Oh, it looks like we have 7 million perverts; might as well push it to the remaining 200 million users because there is a chance they are all perverts."
I did not bother checking the creator of this porn post because I did not want the algorithm to catch it.
I wanted to check their post to see if they are consistently creating porn content, or if they have just started doing it because they saw the numbers and are now creating more porn content.
It is always what the algorithm wants, and sometimes these types of creators progress to become full porn creators because they can first earn Elon Musk's money, then gain traction, and finally become a porn influencer.
On Hive
I have seen creators gravitate toward suggestive posts in the past; some were full-fledged sex content, while others were partial and only suggestible.
The first time I saw a user do this type of post, it received a lot of comments and votes, but it was unlikely to last because Hive frowns on sexual or pornographic content. If this were not the case, bikini posts would be at the top of the trending list.
Many have tried it, but it has not worked because many people here believe it is simply a form of sexually appealing to people's sensuality in exchange for votes.
Shit-posting?
Some people consider it shit-posting because the images are likely to be low quality: two to three JPEGS and they are off. This is why porn content doesn't sell here.
You will be surprised how creative some users are, and how well they do it, but most of the time Hive shapes people to create what it (Hive) wants.
This is not necessarily a good thing.
However, a user is more likely to engage in content that they believe is more rewarding. Consider the vibes contests; even if a user is not a musician, they will most likely channel their inner Celine Dion because of the famous $1,000 weekly rewards.
As for frowning at sexual content, It is not because there are not any perverts here; the main reason is that people prefer not to see pornographic content and are at odds with more realistic content. So, does this imply that pornographic content is of poor quality?
We all agree, and I believe more than 70% of the people here will agree. So, why is it considered quality on Twitter? That is simply because we do not use the same algorithm as web2.
Unique, not better
This does not imply that our algorithm is superior; rather, it distinguishes it from others.
Sexual contents, in my opinion, have no intrinsic value, and this is not because of values or righteousness; it is simply because they do not add value that can be counted on.
People who create porn content are typically lazy; they slap JPEGS or phrases in the hopes that it will appeal to people's sensual and sensory aspects, and if they receive a significant number of votes, this will encourage a much larger population to participate, and this site may simply become a web3 pornhub.
People have a tendency to stick with what works for them, but thankfully, that is not the case here.
