Will blockchain porn ever take off like blockchain gaming?

Porn is something that often divides opinion. However, whether you like it or not, it takes nothing away from the fact that it's a multi-billion dollar industry.

The founder of Dfinity recently talked about the potential of replicating Onlyfans on a blockchain and it really does sound like a great idea.

Naturally, I think Hive is the best place for these sort of media-based developments because we already have the framework and foundation to host the content.

In my opinion, the only thing holding back the development is a concerted push to improve Dporn.

When 3speak porn?

I can't remember exactly when it was but I enquired when porn would be allowed on 3speak and there was no specific date set.

The conversations about it have been sent to the back burner but I think it's something that we really should be exploring.

As COVID hit the entire planet, many people realized how much they liked staying at home. In that period, cam girls and similar content creators became super important.

It was also in that same period that Onlyfans experienced a huge pump in viewers and traffic.

I don't see myself ever paying for porn or sexual content but there are millions of people willing to pay for it, so I think it's a viable business opportunity for Hive blockchain as a whole.

DPORN needs a push

On hive, we have a porn outlet but it's the least talked about front end on the platform. The content there hardly gets any traction and because it's porn, most frontends like to keep it on the down low.

Thanks to projects like Leofinance and Splinterlands, we know that it's possible for second-layer projects to be successful on hive.

Right now, the combined value of Leofinance and Splinterlands actually eclipses the market capitalization of Hive and HBD.

For me, this just proves that Hive still has some growth to do, and secondly that hive is a nice place to build.

The question is, how can we build DPORN to get to a higher status. How do we make people more interested in porn?

Finding good content

Unlike Leofinance and Splinterlands where people produce a lot of original quality content, the porn site hasn't really been exciting.

Perhaps it is due to the low rewards on that end but the content I see isn't really exciting.

If we're going to grow that end of the woods then we have to be looking into creating a proper reward system and we also need to fix the visuals.

The Dporn website still looks bare minimum. It has the structure of generic hive front-ends.

For a project to be successful, it has to carve out a niche for itself and also has to look the part. Right now, Dporn doesn't look like a porn site, it looks like a basic hive social media.

Also, why is it that Dporn content still gives that NSFW warning before viewing it. The content there should be smacking you in the face, right from the get-go.

I mean, once you open the site, there should be a sexy woman with huge tits in your face with one generic welcome message and an 18+ warning that nobody actually gives a shit about.

A lot of work

There's so much work to be done but it can be done. We can tap into the porn market and give people the opportunity to monetize their time.

So in just the same way we earn from playing games, people could actually earn while wanking. So you jerk off with one hand and curate with the other hand. In my book, that's a win-win.

Dporn shouldn't operate like every hive front end because it's unique. It needs to do something akin to YouTube and reward authors based on views.

So that means to introduce the token buyback from Google ad sense and then see where that goes.

The porn industry is huge and we're sitting on an untapped gold mine. Porn on hive could be the next big thing but it'll never happen if we keep ignoring that front end.

The question is, where, how, and when do we start the push to grow the porn sector in the same we pushed gaming on Splinterlands?

I won't be able to give it the time required. I need to get @dreemport onto live as soon as possible. I can help with some funding if it is in my range or continual funding support of some kind. You will need to get your plans and execution in order. Unless you intend to cough up hosting especially video , look at how to integrate and utilize the existing 3speak and hive features then the main interface for traffic would probably also need to aggregate external vids etc etc. but I am sure you will figure out a good plan to become the hive porn kingpin

it is an innovative idea, hence, everything you post on the blockchain, it is posted on all the frontends not only on the porn frontend.

that's the only limitation I can think about that plan.

Porn tends to be involved in all new technologies. There were a few projects that were attempted, I dont think any succeeded.

The challenge is the control. Blockchain decentralizes that and those who are run the porn industry are not about to give that power (or money) up.

It will have to come like everything else, from outside the established industry.

I think now it's a good time to push for that

I have a couple of friends in the industry and they tell me that sex workers are starting to drift away from the big producers and starting to do more independent stuff. It's still a small movement but it could be the start of something

I fully agree that Hive’s ability to offer adult content creators censorship-resistant accounts is the best solution.

But in my opinion, we need to think about this a little differently.

There's no need to create a Hive porn community like DPorn, because these women are their own community.

They have followers/fans that are there for them and only for them.

So they don't need to tap into a generic porn community to find followers.

All they need is the ability to do their own thing, right on their own accounts.

What allows them to do this?

Nothing more than a censorship-resistant Hive account and whatever front-end they choose to display their content via.

Hive is the solution.

If you create a site on the hive blockchain, I want to have some starting hive-engine tokens ^^, and will be ready to invest some of my publication earnings from my main account, even published there.
