Yeah. My solution personally has been to quit. I know that's not realistic for people with internet access to do, especially single folks. And it does nothing to help the workers actually involved in producing porn. But it was harming me and I had to stop. And not because of puritan bs, because of the reasons you mentioned
Yeah exactly. On :reddit-logo:, the pornfree subreddit is better and bans nofap talking points if I remember correctly. Also lot of people conflate masturbation with porn which leads to nofap type thinking, but it's perfectly fine to masturbate without porn.
It's like AA and addiction. The AA system is terrible and has bad outcomes when addiction is already very hard to manage, but it has so much cultural penetration that most people don't even know there are alternatives.
was intended for private viewing but later used as revenge porn later
Gonewild on Reddit tries to avoid this by having users post a picture of themselves with their user name, date, and "Gonewild" written on a piece of paper. It's not perfect and I'm sure some content gets posted without consent, but I don't know what else you could do that wouldn't require people to like send in their driver's licenses.
any art made for a corporation was made with exploitation, but that doesn't stop us from watching tv or listening to mainstream music
barring a reflection you can't know if a gun was pointed at the subject of a photograph, but I don't think i'm further harmed by some new person who i will never meet and cannot identify me seeing a picture of my butthole that someone screenshotted from snapchat or a google engineer illegally copied out of my email.
i have no idea what your point was then. if some hentai artist was forced to draw a kink they don't like or scammed out of money they were owed by a publisher, that harm is done and dusted long before the work is scanlated and uploaded somewhere you or I would see it, and we don't compound the harm done by passively copying and observing art.
I sign up for only fans accounts. In so far as porn can be ethical a single creator making their own content and getting like 80% of proceeds is about the best you can ask for right now. There's also voyeur forums on Reddit like Gonewild where people are posting pictures of themselves for voyeuristic reasons.

Oh my god. It's fucking dangerous for the average for people to not know that this whole country is all cults all the time.
there's always hentai and purported exhibitionists posting their own nudes, while not free of social problems don't carry nearly the same baggage.

Knowing that I'm appreciating the work of a writer/artist does enhance my enjoyment of doujinshi or other such artwork
