Porn does a lot more harm than good and is a serious problem

Y'all were a little too silent when he posted that so I thought y'all were in that 5 minute club too

Okay I might have exaggerated. 10mins

That's why I laughed. Man's was trying to get the minute men to out themselves.

Y'know i'm still not sure if my guy is joking or not.

So porn has been easily accessible for more than 20 years now. Since broadband internet was available. A lot of people who grew up with porn should be having kids and families by now.

I really don't see it as any more harmful then anything else on the internet. I think there's other things on social media that are actually more harmful. Like the stuff that gives people unrealistic expectations of how their lives are going to turn out.

Obviously if you're whacking for hours a day to it you got issues, but how many people really do that?

You’d be surprised… Obviously I’m sure there are plenty who use porn in a healthy way but these days I’m seeing commercials for ED medication that’s advertised towards younger men and I can’t help but think that porn today has a lot to do with that. At my meetings I’m seeing a lot more young guys come in who are struggling with a porn addiction. It’s just a lot easier to be addicted to it because of how easily accessible it is these days, just my observation.

That's odd, why would you just assume this out of nowhere? What data are you working on?

downloading for hours on p2p sites hoping that your internet don't disconnect at some point and going to tube sites are diff levels of accessibility if you're comparing to 20+ yrs ago

Social media has created a climate where it seems okay for women to be OD sexual & it's not looked at as perverted/weird behavior.

Twitter installed that stupid *** for you tab, & just scrolling that just left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Like it's 8AM why am i seeing your naked *** on my TL already, why do some of these women feel the need to talk about nothing but their sexual experiences in Public.

Go look under one of these "bad chicks" comments & the women are saying the same kinda thirsty/weird **** that the dudes do.

The group of women who try to push sex work & only fans content as empowering etc etc

it

Not sure which person on here recently said this but if that, "For You" tab is showing you THAT it's because of the things that you are already browsing/subscribing to/following. That is complete #UserError

I get your concern but it's easily avoidable. YOU set your algorithm.

But yea, they are also creeps. But it is what it is.

Ya'll give these algorithms entirely too much credit. IDGAF about a good 70% of the content that is shown under the for you tab, & it is representative of my regular timeline.

What do you mean we give the algorithms too much credit?

The content you browse/engage in will be the content that pops up on your feed.

You must be engaging in SOME sort of "that" stuff for it to be coming on your feed, no?

Anything on my, "For You" tab is stuff I care about. More than 95% of it fits what my online habits are.

Not trying to argue so don't take it personally please.

& that may be YOUR experience i'm not here to argue that. I'm telling you that these algo's are very sensitive & are thrown off easily. again atleast 60-70% shown on that tab is stuff that IDGAF about. The algo will also suggest you stuff that your followers engage with.

I don't even know how many times i've watched ONE video of something on youtube & then get bombarded by more videos in that lane

might as well delete the app / stop using the internet all together if it’s this much of a problem in your life.

I seen a story young people are using flip phones to regain back their mental health.


You see what my Avy doing, get like him B.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

trynafeelmink I get what you are saying about seeing stuff that your followers are retweeting/posting/following as well.

Question, when you say 70% of the stuff suggested to you on SM is stuff you don't care about, what are some of those subject matters? And what are you following/doing that you THINK might have given the formula reason to think you WOULD be interested in those things?


I come in Peace, just having a conversation.

My guy i'm not really trying to get into a discussion about how social media algorithms work right now, because my initial point was about the normalization of overly sexual/perverted women & how they are empowered by both men & women

Algo people like to argue it's strictly your browsing habits that determine what you see but we've all been online long enough to know that's not entirely black and white. You don't control what your friends post, nor what link it sees/doesn't see as relevant. You could have a totally valid feed tuned to only carpentry, just the nature of how current attention works, someone will be doing carpentry in a bikini. Then it comes down to oh you like that? The color palette? Other similarly dressed content? Some of your other friends like this which might be similar. Oh you blocked these items? Here's the discussion other people who blocked these items are having etc. etc.

Additionally there are other humor/meme pages that throw in sponsored content and random plugs for OF girls, so even if you follow the page for the humor you still end up seeing the OF girls/IG models. Also if you follow any IG fitness pages the chance of half-naked girls popping up on your feed is basically 100%.

Man it doesnt take much for the algorithim to shift. I follow 179 people, and I have everyone muted except like 10 people (family and 3 celebs). I primarily interact with food and basketball videos. So all of my suggested posts are typically that. My wife sent me a funny video about parenting, and I saved it. After that I was getting flooded with "suggested posts" all about parenthood. AInt seen a hoops video since lol. I didnt search for that parenting video, it was sent to me, and I saved it. So not all things that appear on the time line are purely indicative of what youre looking for or your interests.

Yea I don't know how people hop on social media in the morning. 12 pm is the earliest I hop on. Limit it to 30 minutes at the most.

People get pets and create IG profiles for them then ask me to follow. Nah I'm good.

 

[s-blaze]

I didn't ask for the stuff they show me on IG. Not trying to hear the algorithm.

 

[oidreez]

Its like it defaults to showing you pictures of hot women in yoga pants at the gym to get you hooked and you have to click "not interested"

 

[Wargames]

IG is porn

It is and Tik tok is way worst

 

[s-blaze]

I specifically came for sports highlights cause YouTube has ads for a 6 second replay.

And boom, booty in my face.
