Maybe you keep viewing it and so you get more of it recommended to you because platforms crave user interaction so they can show you ads.
Perhaps it's also the other side... Authors see more engagement from one topic. So they focus only on that.
Yup, my wife gets ads for unhinged bullshit from Amazon, and she keeps getting them because she clicks on every one.
I can remember a few years ago I was browsing through the genre categories on my kindle and the romance category was filled with books where a woman is held against her will or something similar. I didn't search specifically and i wasn't looking at recommendations, I was browsing a genre and a large chunk out in 5 pages was extreme erotica. So I get where op is coming from.
The entire discourse is like this. Seriously, there was a great threads where someone asked to spend money on anything that was literary and indie. Crickets, despite indie authors attacking her a few days earlier for not reading indie.
I'm not searching this out, I'm searching out indie authors. On instagram yesterday, I checked out the indie author hashtags and every single one was porn.
And then I checked out a competition for unpublished authors looking to break into self publishing.
Seven judges. ONE wasn't porn.
I dunno what it is, but it’s all my wife reads. Every time I call it porn, she gets very defensive. I just shrug and tell her to read whatever she wants.
Now go watch some "problematic consent" porn next to her and see what happens!
I can't hear you over my audiobook "Pounded in the butt by my own butt" written and read by author Chuck Tingle.
It's pretty gross, isn't it?
I've always enjoyed a bit of YA fiction/sci-fi and now it's all weird kink stuff.
I wonder if there's a clear marker pre-50 shades of grey and post-50 shades of grey...that book seems to have done a number on people.
Sex sells
Yes, we are in an artistic lull (for what is popular lately).
…Yet still, some artists stay true on the path and create something cleaner and healthy… today… Honest and Brave.
That is the actual Liberation.
So what do you want done about it?
Just because I don't have a solution doesn't mean the problem isn't worth highlighting imo
Okay so what outcome do you want? What does winning look like to you?
