Potential Double-StandardsPosted on: 08/14/17 11:07PM
Gelbooru being a Japanese-based site is fine, but the adware (specifically, the pop-under ads and for a time when they were present intermission ads) you people host is frequently not very Japanese-themed. I'd say those kinds of "watch my gf", "fuck an old lady tonight", "why PAY for a fuck buddy" etc. are due to be measured in the same light as posts on this site, and I'd wager they'd have not a chance of ever getting past any of your moderators. I know you don't see exactly what kind of ads all your users, members, guests get to see whilst browing this site, due to the methodologies behind the sponsorship--I won't pretend to understand--but the least you could be doing is ironing out your outright hilarious double standard--all the ads should reflect what content you host, potentially compromise its relevance and dignity (as Japanese-themed).
It was years ago, but Danbooru used to be sponsored by J-List-- I can't think of a more suitable arrangement than that. Very cognisant of that site's status as a mostly pixiv-derived image aggregate site. Can you guys make an arrangement like that with some site? Maybe the economy is just different now.
