Will steem blockchain be the future of porn and adult publications ?
The great thing with steem blockchain is its superior technology hence why many applications are developing there-few examples are Dtube, Dlive, Dimania, busy.org, Utopia , Dsound , Esteem (and many more ). Few weeks ago, Playboy announced that it will close its doors on Facebook due to Facebook misuse of member’s data’s for financial gains. Read my former posts here for details
This issue with Facebook including its centralized and censor nature-which includes other social media platforms like twitter, Reddit et al has opened up a better option for adult channels and adult publication company like playboy to join and reach the growing community. Moreover, there are now some adult channels in steemit examples @dporn
Dporn is a Decentralized porn blockchain platform dedicated to the porn industry and the users who watch porn.
It is where the world's multi-billion industry can easily and equally share the rewards with its users for posting and curating. You can watch any kind of porn for free – but, get paid to do so too
, @dporn.club and am sure that if well-pitched, adult publications like playboy will like to join the bandwagon .
Note: I am not a big fan of porn however I do understand that steem ecosystem has the ability to reach all segments due to its decentralized nature and superior technology. Moreover, beautiful ladies including Porn stars are so popular even POTUS (President of The United States) Donald Trump had an affair with one (see news).
Growth Potential:
the future of steem ecosystem is indeed bright –moreover, steem price is currently undervalued and will rise drastically in months to come-so time to get more if you have spare cash. In addition, we all can see that new innovative applications are being added to steem blockchain constantly, new businesses/ companies are joining, new members are signing up and all these are going on even without the implementation of SMT and Hfork 20 (upcoming steemit inc projects / updates-see my older posts for details). Therefore, the future of steem ecosystem is very bright.

Growth is crucial for the success of any platform and I see steem ecosystem growing daily. This means that the future is indeed very bright and better days ahead. Time to get some cheap steem and power up, it will surely be a good form of investment
lovely
that would be cool if you had a site for porn using steem only problem is it would steem up my computer screen and I would not be able to see anything...
Chuck Norris is on here too. So are cats. So, why not porn too? What the Hell, haha, why not? Good day. Thanks for sharing, hehe. I'm not Chuck Norris haha. I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold. You can call me Joey.
Chuck is everywhere!
Dang I am not so sure this is a good thing for me. I was on a roll spending a lot of time on steemit in lieu of porn for almost a decade. Once this dporn platform goes full blossom I may be getting back into that addiction, porn. :/ Steemit and porn at the same time. Dang not enough time in a day to do all that lol.
Lol, I guess steemit will take up all your time then...LOl
People have always had these struggles, addictions, to porn, and other things, for thousands of years, so it is not really the fault of technology haha. But I feel you. Chuck Norris would have no problem with this haha.
Hahahaha, you are right
I certainly don't think that steem will become a huge platform for porn.
The blockchain is public and I think most people don't want their friends and followers to know what porn they upvoted ;)
This "problem" also isn't solved by creating new accounts, as that accounts wouldn't be very powerfull and there would no incentive to delegate them any power. (as nearly nobody upvotes nsfw content the curation rewards are also very small ).
So to summarize: There are no positive effects for people who vote porn. Therefore nobody does.
But there may be a small market for people who buy porn with votes. (Vote to gain access)
Good point however I disagree because most people do focus on where to get good curation rewards and also contents they like. However your friends and family members will not view your upvotes daily
You know, I'm not sure about that. If you're an open-minded person who approaches EVERYTHING with a different eye, then your family and friends won't be surprised to know your views on these finer points. So what if someone knows I like looking at naked females? Should that be any surprise? On the other hand, since so many people aren't honest with themselves, much less their family and friends, that's another matter altogether.
The important part is, that it isn't only about family and friends. The content in the blockchain is public, easy to analyze and undeletable. That's a very explosive mixture!
(And this also doesn't only concern porn, but anything you ever write on steemit. )
You don't want everybody to know everything. Most of all not something intimate.
It may be ok if your friends know, it might be ok if your family knows, but is it ok if your neighbour knows? Your date who you just met? Every potential company where you would like to work? Your co-workers? Your clients? Your subordinates?
Want an example?
What if you have a leading position in a company with many female subordinates.
Would they feel comfortable around you if you often watch and like (fake) rape-porn?
This of course exaggerated, but I think it helps to bring my point across.
How many people do you know their real Identity on Steemit? moreover, there is no home for rape or child porn here because the steemit community will chase them out with downvotes...few tried and were destroyed here and the accounts compromised. I am not a fan of Porn but see its future on decentralised platforms like steemit...and yes, I like seeing beautiful women
I know a few, here in Germany there are even meetups at some cities so we get to know each other :)
Also a few people in real life know my nickname and my blog here.
This is of course correct and thankfully so. But that wasn't my point here really. This was only an example to make clear that not everything is accepted and wouldn't matter if anybody else knows. It hasn't to be this extreme though. My point here is that there isn't a very clear line what is accepted and what not. Can be any kind of fetish really. Or even just how often you do watch porn in general.
Good points however steem blockchain is open for diversity and that is the key...this includes adult porns and publications like playboy . I am from Germany too hahaha and understand your view points however accepting that diversity leads to more growth is the key and steem is decentralised and uncensored hence why such adult channels will surely come...see some mentioned here like @dporn
Ever looked at dporn? ( I of course only did for research purposes ;P )
The rewards there are very small and there aren't many videos either because of this.
And I don't see reasons why this would change in the (near) future.
So my point isn't that there shouldn't be services or accounts like that and I also don't think that such things will vanish completly. Its just that I find it very unlikely that these will ever be a majority. And also that one has to be very careful if using them...
Good point I agree. I will not spend my voting power and time there however they can do their thing if and only if thereit relates to adult contents only and nothing illegal.
You can know my real identity but I value privacy for those who want to lay low more and we should have that freedom to be public when we want and to be private but Facebook has been selling out data and more.
You're not wrong. I do think there should be user control over who can see what you post. That only limits the earner's potential, but then it becomes about privacy more than money...and that's an interesting balance too.
I think this is basically impossible.
Only things that aren't required by the blockchain to work are possible to encrypt.
For example: You can't encrypt votes, the blockchain need to know who and for what you voted for, so that the rewards can be calculated correctly.
Another example: You can encrypt the memo text, as the transaction is only between 2 people (therefore you can use the public key of the other party to encrypt it) and it isn't needed for anything else.
About posts:
Well you could encrypt a posts content, but if you want to do that you could just as well use any other service out there that is more for private texting. Way more efficient and you don't have a problem once the encryption on steem is broken (or anybody changes private keys).
I am here long enough to know that it is not realistic to implement and will not work because remember that steemit is uncensored and decentralised...even everybody can see your transactions here hence the beauty (and for some the danger) of decentralised social media platform.
Good point.You explained it well, thanks for your comment
People will follow and yes, upvote the content that is popular. If a dporn bot is upvoting i.e like dmania, dtube and the rest do people will follow it to earn curation. People will use alt accounts and build them up overtime solving the , "don't want their friends and followers to know what porn they upvoted" issue. We already see that with a few other apps. Also, if you have a stake in the platform via the PornD tokens you'll earn 90 % of the rewards the site earns. There is incentives to be on the Dporn platform.
True, but it can make a little bit of money at least for some people sometimes. Let people choose to maybe do whatever they want to do, whether it be good or bad.
Maybe this corner of the internet isn't suitable for porn audiences and providers anyway? I'm sure there are easier ways to make money than by hoping people publicly approve of it on an open forum, since it's the sort of thing people prefer to keep somewhat discreet.
Good point
sexy lady
Whether anyone personally likes them or not, porn and gaming are the two biggest areas that can add a boatload of users very quickly. Both have enormous followings. Plus those people tend to have money to spend..
Should a store sell cigarettes? Some people may not like smoking but may sell smokes to make money. Porn and beer and wine and gambling is the same kind of thing. People tend to want to make money off things even if they do not like those things. And there are black markets out there. Prohibition does not stop the black markets. So, do we want these industries for smokes, beer, sex, drugs, etc., to go under ground which makes it harder for cops and for others to find them or do we want to let them do what they do somewhere where we can see them and keep an eye on them?
I agree with you...good point indeed.
steemit offer much more and more people didn't recognize steemit use case and indeed, there were lots of room to grow and fill in in. Today is the time to keep bagging steem power for brighter future
Good point, I agree
Interesting aspect of crypto use, i am just wondering how this might be affected by legal constraints, like the recent discovery of child pornography on the bitcoin blockchain just as an example, as there is a variety of prohibition in different countries, so this could become a problem for witnesses in many countries...
We had the issue of an account that posted childporn here on steemit and the steemit community members exposed and flagged the accounts including all voters of the posts to hell fire...the accounts were later compromised-a good use of community downvote indeed.
Excellent community effort!
I agree....
This is a very good idea steemit porn at least will save me the money I spend on regular porn sites
Lol, I agree. At least it can cost yu some voting power isnt it?
It's gonna be a hard battle against PornHub etc., but with time even porn stars can feel at home on steemit. At the moment it's still a niche like many others here, but cutting out the middleman for sure must sound attractive to many porn creators.
Good point, I agree
