I've noticed on reddit, X and even Facebook to an extent that the amount of disgusting crap (porn, snuff, blatant racism against blacks, whites, etc… gore) is becoming more apparent than in the past.

Can you imagine being a teenager and being exposed to this garbage…

Teenagers shouldn't be on social media. A ways off yet, but mine certainly won't be.

Sounds kind of like being a teenager in the 1990's TBH. Online porn aside. We had to work for our porn.

Smart, I got Facebook when it was in its infancy at age 15. I'd advise delaying it as long as possible

Yea but your porn was playboys and nudie mags, not hardcore porn

I did notice this on Instagram, follow an account that seems to post something legit (funny joke, interesting tidbit) and then after a while the account will start posting OnlyFans/ whatever models.
WTF...

X has gotten really bad…i basically avoid the app now because the feed algorithm is so prurient.

Yeah, that's not how it used to be. At least back when I was on it one had to intentionally click on this related to stuff like that to get those things.

But, when a business makes a fair amount of it's money from being able to say they have "X" amount of people on it and clicks, it makes sense what's happening and why.

So X is following the path laid by tumblr and 4chan.
Which was previously laid down by the likes of the Village Voice, Chicago Reader, LA Weekly, Dallas Observer, Austin Chronicle, and so many other alt-weekly newspapers

Truth. In the 80s we had to wait for a kid to steal his dad's Playboy out of the trash. I remember we had a stack of Playboys in the woods in a garbage bag. You had to be careful turning the wet pages so as not to tear the boobies.

Now a kid just has to upload a clothed picture of anyone into A.I. and it will make them naked or having sex in ten seconds.

I don't know what you idiots are looking at to cause the algorithms to bring the pr0n bots, but on the rare occasion one follows me, I instablock them and it's a long while until another tries.

My X account is pr0n free.

I see very very very few porn bots. Are you clicking on the OF girl profiles? That will skew the algorithm. The worst part of Twitter is the 50 video replies to topics that have nothing to do with the topic.

Your cable didn't have the Playboy channel? Much better squiggley lines. Also, back then it was pronounced Skinemax.

Exactly. All I see on X are sports and politics. Never seen any kind of porn.

My sister made her kids wait till they became freshmen in high school before they got phones and no social media allowed. And the two oldest are fine with it and honestly their friends respect it. I think you will see a pendulum swing with younger people to move back to less social media in the future. Ive already noticed more old school cameras becoming more popular again. There is a novelty to being counter culture to capturing everything.

I follow lot of barstool. Whenever Portnoy posts you'll see hundreds of Onlyfans girls below trying to gain interaction off his outreach. I've seen this on other meme pages too

LOL same...how is OP seeing hardcore porn on these apps?

Now on Instagram, are their curvy chicks doing squats in ridiculously tight booty shorts on my miscellaneous feed?



Trying to figure out how to clean that up. Just not clicking on them doesn't seem to do the trick.

That's when facebook was cool for young people. College kids used it to hook up. Gen Xers used it to track down old girlfriends from high school. Now Facebook is mainly for married people with kids. My feed is nothing but 1st day back to school and hunting/fishing pics

Ok so those aren't the bots, they are thirst traps. There used to be tons of p**** in bio bots everywhere, but those are largely gone. Stop following ****** bags and you'll largely avoid OF dumpster broads.

Facebook is best used for marketplace. I don't even visit Craigslist anymore.

I think the generation that was first introduced to this as teens (late gen Y and early gen Z, my kids are part of this) know how unhealthy the social media experiment has been on them and will not let their kids have this stuff till they are much older.

I was doing some work at a home and the TV was on - the daughters, probably late teens early 20's were watching some reality tv program.

The person on TV started screaming the F word and the parents recoiled and then laughed nervously. I said "that's the world we live in nowadays"

YouTube has gotten just as bad. If I'm not logged in getting the normal stuff I look at (Airplanes, cars, shooting, hobby stuff) the algorithm seems to push some vulgar stuff, borderline porn.

Facebook was the best when it was only for college kids. I got an account late 2004 or early 2005 and you had to have an email ending with .edu to get an account. Not all colleges had it, we had to create a fake tamu.edu email account for my GF ( now wife) when she was at Blinn. There was also no account verification, just create an account and your in.

All social media places were better when it was just college kids. Then the unwashed masses got on them, and well, we all see what they've all become.

Oh well, at least the lucky ones of us got to enjoy them the way they were originally meant to be.
