Seriously, this is hardly a new trend for Reddit. There’ve been tons of hookup subreddits for years now.
Sounds like a disappointment speedrun to me.
I still use 4chan for all my hook up needs. Side note, anyone got the plug on some antibiotics?

I know more than one edgy trans person who browsed 4chan back in the day so I’m only… slightly surprised
I never would have thought this, but I’m happy they have a place to go that’s good.
Any device or software that allows people to communicate is going to be used for hook-ups. It’s etched into the machine code at the heart of the internet.
3 yearsit’s weird tho, how do you find people in your area on a site used all across the world

Just make sure your house doesn’t have an Ardennes to go through on the other side!
Fair enough but those areas are still fairly large. Are you really going to drive across the country for a hookup? Are people that desperate?
Well there isn’t one for my city. Not that I would care of course…

You click on the banner that advertises local singles in your area ready to hook up now.

Hey maybe let’s not vilify the nsfw subs that are doing nothing wrong. The anti adult content trend recently is really disturbing and is pushing the culture war in the states trying to outright ban porn.

I think it’s more the blending of people advertising their adult content with those presumably looking for genuine connections that people have a problem with. A lot of niche interest subs have rules around self-promotion and people looking to advertise products for what I think are similar reasons.
Yeah all that shit is getting pretty wild. A bunch of stuffy prudes are freaking out about changing social/cultural norms.
I also think this latest war on porn is a low key cover to undermine online security/privacy/encryption.
It’s about control really. The powers that be are afraid people are talking online about how things could be better and they don’t want that.
If you want to control people go after their biological needs.

This is basically an ad saying “if you want to get laid visit reddit.” Honestly reddit probably suggested it. They’re going to coin the phrase “reddit and chill.”

“and thirty minutes later a man posted being interested”, “the market is enormous”
Like wow, a guy looking for a hookup, how hard is that to find lol.
Yeah feels like a paid for opinion-publicity. Of course you have to use their shitty app to see NSFW now too so a win win right!!

Years ago, I had some success with these subreddits. In recent years, not so much. IF you could meet the various requirements to post, you would be flooded with some combination of OnlyFans accounts, literal scam attempts, and/or occasional actual prostitutes. But mostly the first two. More than one girl I reached out to had a long list of rules for guys who wanted to message her. Just a whole bunch of bullshit. And the “local” subreddits are 99.99999% spam accounts.

You all were hooking up?
I thought those were people pushing OF content. Or if it was happening, it was only in really big cities.

Big cities are so overrated for the dating scene. You don’t have to go all the way to Falador to meet someone sexy. I met my gf in the Lumbridge general store.
Lmao look at this loser, just buy your gf at the GE like a civilized person
Don’t look for hookups in West Ardougne unless you have lots of penicillin.

seeing the pictures of redditors that got married and met through reddit… yeah you don’t want to have been hooking up there

Oh yeah I remember those things. All my friends who use reddit have like 20 of those onlyfans bots following them. Like how did that ever become a thing!?
- 3 years
Ooh, I don’t know. Makes me want to get back in there. Apparently I was following the wrong subreddits all this time
- 3 years
And I bet most of it is fake/bots or shilling for an Onlyfans account.
If Reddit gets seized and shutdown due to solication under FOSTA-SESTA I will laugh

I won’t. That’s a terrible law and its use should never be celebrated, even against someone we don’t like.

To be fair, reddit for me was always about getting to know like-minded people. And I met my wife through the 40+redditor seeks redditor group so if that’s what it is I’m fine with it. Not in the least as I left that toxic waste dump with the exodus and have not missed 95% of it. (Yes, I miss /r/AskHistorians but I am strong, if I allow myself one subredit it will suck me back in so clean break is for the best).

Those subreddits are trash. If you’re from US, everything can be either easy or difficult. But if you’re from another country, don’t bother. US-centrism is a real pain.
