absolutely is an agenda, I have a manyvids account. My settings stricly says straight content yet every single search something gay gets mixed in the results. I mean the platform is all inclusive so why not let those who want that kind of content enjoy it and not force the rest to even see it...

I don't know if I would go so far as to call it an agenda but I agree that it's annoying that there's no way to filter certain preferences. I imagine it would take a lot of manual effort to reclassify old videos and it wouldn't be easy to get uploaders to properly tag their videos. It's hard to enforce. Lots of uploaders also purposely add garbage tags to get views which defeats the purpose. I can see it being viable for a platform like ManyVids but for xHamster or xvideos it's next to impossible
Using the BBG as an example, the uploader might tag it as straight even if it's technically bi. And bi could be either girl fucking both guy and girl or guy fucking both girl and guy. You'd need to be very precise with what the filters mean (in your case, no guy on guy action).
Then you have uploaders from south america completely disregarding everything and spamming uploads tagged with everything under the sun lol. and the ridiculous poorly translated titles

TLDR adding the code to filter by preference is easy but being precise with the definition and getting people to follow it is hard

because that's the company uploading their own content. as opposed to a randoms uploading on tubesites like xvideos or xhamster using wrong/shitty tags like tempyasdf mentions. even on pornhub there's amateur content of straight couples just fucking, there's no dialogue or plot but it's still tagged "stepsister" because people will use tags they think will get views - even if the tag has nothing to do with the video

I see we're all back on "there's an agenda" discussion

I hate every time someone mentions that their character is 18. It's very clearly covering potential censorship or liability, but viewers know that in order to be there the model has to be 18 or older. I wish they'd just leave it out so the viewer can mentally fill in the blank, especially since most (professional) models are visibly in their early to mid 20s.

Fair comment, but my major issue with this is that I have finite time to browse through the many 10s/100s of new vids that are uploaded to tubesites or porn sites each day. Effective filtering makes that a lot easier and quicker, saving on scrolling through page after page of irrelevant stuff and meaning I'm less likely to miss good stuff as my eyes glaze over.

True, though they're one of the worst offenders (as they upload dozens of new vids each day) for spamming all-male scenes amongst the BG stuff.

It's search engine optimization like anything else on the internet now, I guess.
Damn though, I wish there was a way to nuke those uploaders or mute their uploads on the tubesites.

Curva oh I agree with you, finding quality jerk off material is a full time job. But there in lies the rub (pun most definitely intended)

If I had to concede to an "agenda" existing, I would say that they want to make the process of "free" porn as cumbersome as possible. More clicks, more hitting backspace, more pages we visit, more algorithms and more ads they can push to us, the more money they can make off us. And let's face it...it works. We are all gluttons for punishment and slaves to our own genitals.

I definitely spend more time looking for fap material than doing literally anything else more productive.

Sometimes bunkr will send me to 4 or 5 redirects on mobile and there is nothing I can do as I don't have a reliable adblock.

lol +1 the number of hours ive wasted surfing for porn i havent seen before/a full or HD version of a vid simply because i dont have anything else to do. makes me think i should stop but then i see a pretty girl and fomo kicks in. cant stop in case there's some amazing upload that i might miss

also you could try some other browsers for adblockers on mobile
im using firefox with ublock origin. i think i had to enable the nightly build/dev mode in order to add it but hey, it works
idk about ios

I am definitely among my people here...

You're probably right. After all, hosting all those terabytes isn't cheap, and the big companies have clearly come to an accomodation with some of the tubesites. Certainly the search and filtering on some of those sites has got drastically worse in recent years.

Yeah, I do restrict most of my fap browsing to desktop and browsers with good adblocking.

That's definitely part of the problem for me. Coupled with the desire to file and archive my downloads thoroughly - which means I'll be parking a scene in one actress's folder and I'll be reminded of other girls in adjacent folders who I haven't searched for in a while... And so the wheel keeps turning.
I don't think of myself as an obsessive collector by any means, but I am driven by a nagging fear that one day soon this golden age will end and much of the material will be purged, so better to keep filling up those disks in the short term 💁‍♂️

Probably telling my age here, but anyone remember those cd-r tower blocks from like bestbuy/target with like 120 cds.... I had racks of them.

I know I'm definitely a hoarder, laptops and hard drives full of videos...some I've never even seen. I like collecting, and I know it's an obsession.

Frankly this site has made it so much worse too. Before it was just studio scenes and usually only of favorite performers. Now I find myself aimlessly scrolling through Instagram and Twitter for fresh faces, in the hopes that they will have a page here. Lol.

I need a patch or twelve step program stat.

Oh, I definitely used to be a collector. There could be a scene with a chick I was dying to see, download it and often times never watch it cause I was no longer interested in it/her. It was like as long as I had the file on my HDD, I was no longer interested in it. Bet your ass though, after I eventually deleted it, I would go looking for it to watch again, lmao. Laziness is what "cured" me though. With tube sites popping up everywhere, with seemingly everything imaginable, it felt like too much work to download a video, sometimes multiple parts compressed from increasingly shitty hosts, eventually I was just like, fuck it. Tube sites most of the time are good enough for me. I'm not picky, I don't typically need to watch something in HD, hell, if the scene and woman is hot enough 360p will work just fine haha (currently use a 1440p monitor). Another reason would be just losing interest in (commercial) porn in general. I don't watch almost any commercial stuff now and for years now. There's just a handful of women on OF whose content I like and even then I just keep the videos they're actually doing something like bating. There's just too much content out now to even try and keep up with it all, even from just a few ladies, it's overwhelming.

And speaking of wasted time on tube sites. Every single fucking time, I dismiss some video, not bookmark for whatever reason. Go back a day or some time later to find that exact video. IT'S NO WHERE TO BE FOUND! It's like someone is actively monitoring me and just wants to fuck with me for their amusement. No, not really, but it does feel that way sometimes.

Lastly. My view on public/exhibitionist stuff has changed over time. Could be because I'm getting older, I used to find it hot and once in a while still do. But overall I'd say it annoys me more than anything. I see too many videos now where the women seem like they're trying to be seen, or don't care. Maybe I'm being a little prudish, but there's a time and a place for things. You masturbating in a public space and not taking any or very little measures to conceal yourself is not it. Someone that's just going about their day, maybe even with their children, doesn't need to see that stuff.

This OnlyFans era of porn especially since post-pandemic weakening the mainstream industry. (it goes much deeper than this statement)
Plastic Surgery ruining a model who was once natural. (but it depends)
AnalVids (formerly LegalPorno) being so disorganized with a lot of studios that are just uninteresting and unbearable to watch.
FTVGirls releasing remasters of old scenes like every other week instead of a fresh new model weekly.
Fake Creampies
Choking
When the camera work focuses more on the man instead of the woman.
When the camera is too zoomed out of a scene or a model. (including cam models)
Cam models who just sit in the same position every stream and/or barely interact with chat.
Cam models who only do anything worth a damn in private shows or ticket shows.
