    Interesting article, thank you.

    I have over a year of experience as a sex-life blogger.

    In my opinion, this kind of platform is not suited for a sex blog. And now, with all the restrictions they impose of NSFW, it is just a waste of time.

    It is best to take the time invested in this unfriendly platform and use it to build your web site + SEO. Once your blog gets traffic in significant numbers, you can put your paywall directly at your web site.

    It takes years to build an audience, and it is best not to rely on unreliable platforms that can destroy your efforts overnight because they change the rules. That was the reason I opened my blog. Out of fear, Flickr, MeWe, or DA or any other platform that I use, will one day change the rules.

    I want to decide on my rules and work on my SEO.

      I don’t disagree, and it’s important to have multiple streams of income if you’re going to try some of the other platforms. That being said, one algorithm change, and your numbers from SEO can plummet, too, so no single option is foolproof. There’s nothing that replaces building a loyal audience — especially one that can and is willing to help financially support your work, in whatever form that takes.
