Why the hell is every app and program out there just being prude bitches and making porn harder to access?

    Advertising is the big one. Many companies simply don’t want to advertise anywhere where porn is present even if it’s segregated.

    Payment processors is the next big one. Most processors won’t service porn sites which makes it hard to collect money for sites with porn. You get stuck with worse service and higher rates.

    Legal compliance is another big problem. Lots of countries have lots of different laws and operating a porn website can get you in trouble in places you weren’t aware of if you aren’t careful. You need to verify ages, and consent of both users and models. In some countries simply looking younger than 18/whatever age can be a problem.

    Overall if a site has mixed content, it can be much less hassle and much more income to drop the porn if there’s sufficient non-porn content.
