When something does grab attention, it leaves some kind of impression, no matter how momentary or minor, that evokes a desire to engage. The logic is not altogether dissimilar from that of dating apps where the task is to find attractive options after being presented with a contingent mass of available choices by actors such as databases, social networks, likes, preferences, and algorithms.
From the perspective of the platforms in question, content that grabs is valuable in its stickiness that makes users pay attention. This is explicitly the key aim of clickbaits that feed, and live on (and off), Facebook and Twitter traffic generated through eye-catching headlines and visuals promising affective jolts, shivers of amusement, interest, and fascination. That this attention economy is elaborate, is finely attuned, and operates at expansive scales and speeds is not to say that its principles of circulation and distraction would be entirely novel, or that it was suddenly born around 2005 with the coining of the concepts of Web 2.0 and social media.
What is novel is the increased and organized monetization of viral content that emerges and results from such circulation of data.Įxceptions do apply, of course.Ĭontent published in order to bemuse, cheer up, amuse, irritate, and shock has been shared on discussion forums and home page links of all kinds throughout the history of the Web-and, well before, in e-mail, bulletin board systems (BBSs), and Usenet newsgroups. Established in 2009, Dangerous Minds is a news and media website-or, according to another interpretation, a clickbait. Operating a website, Facebook page, and Twitter account, as well as a Pinterest, Reddit, StumbleUpon, and Google+ presence, Dangerous Minds publishes content on music, visual art, and the mundane oddities of popular consumer culture. Like numerous other sites, Dangerous Minds trades in spreadable media, yet, unlike the more high-profile clickbaits such as BuzzFeed and Bored Panda, it regularly publishes content marked as “NSFW,” “slightly NSFW,” or “NSFW-ish” that leads to articles on vintage pin-ups, cross-dressers, and pulp fiction films, paintings, and sculptures dwelling on the fleshly details of human bodies and introductions to “the erotic art of the enema.” The content spread in social media has grown increasingly and characteristically SFW. In its combination of the artsy, the subcultural, the bizarre, the vintage, and the cultish, and by flirting with the boundaries of the risqué, Dangerous Minds contributes to and occupies a specific ecological pocket in social media’s attention economy that comprises its natural habitat.ĭespite the various titillations offered by the quintessentially NSFW genre of pornography, its visuals do not dominate most social media platforms precisely for the reason that #NSFW is also a technique of content filtering. Pornographic imagery has, despite its broad volume and perennial popularity, fairly seldom grown viral. While there are hundreds of networks out there, just a few are worth to list.In addition to the community standards policing appropriate content, this is equally a question of humor and the lack thereof. Currently, Sharesome is establishing their spot in the adult network and we decided to give them some exposure as well. Futhermore, we like to add others as well.

We list the best of them plus some aggregators and lists which are really useful. Reddit, the famous "homepage of the internet" for example, offers hundreds of NSFW subreddits, which are actually sub-pages of a specific porn topic. Tumblr banned porn content on their network in December 2018, but there are lot more sites where you can share your porn thoughts, interests and to get pics and videos of great tits. I don't know how much girls are sharing their porn interests, but men certainly do and actually, I got a lot of links from friends, from which I then launched this website. It's fun to discuss, share or just connect with people who enjoy the same stuff.
Everyone I know is regularly visiting one more social networks.
