But on the plus side, you can (in a lot of places) buy them with cash, which means you don’t have to dox yourself / let all the ad companies or whoever know that you’re spending money on [insert thing].

(This can be a pretty big deal for some categories of stuff. We don’t spend money on anything porn-related almost purely because of that. Though the venn diagram of “hiding it from the ad companies is important” and “has gift cards” is probably fairly small.)

Another good thing about being purchasable with cash is that you don’t need to have a working bank account, etc., all that.

Nobody’s preventing it really. There’s a difference between top-down censorship and cultural “we don’t do that here”.

Yeah, pawb.social had a mishap that resulted in all the images getting deleted (the ones that weren’t hotlinked from other places). I’d reupload the screenshot but I don’t even know if I have it anymore at this point. (It’s probably there, but I doubt I could find it.)
