I think you’re misinterpreting everything, and we shouldn’t lump everything together.

1) There are those who believe that AI should be mentioned in the title. I’m fully on that side. It’s essential and it makes sense—why? Because at least people who aren’t into AI won’t click on it. The little troublemakers who always refuse to do so are a problem, especially lately.

2) The use of AI. Yes, some people on this forum have been here for over 25 years, and we’re less fond of fake AI content. But just like on other forums or social media, it’s so—too—easy to use AI that this forum is becoming exclusively AI-based. Real content no longer has a place here—not just in terms of quantity, but also in terms of credibility. The overuse of AI is becoming tiresome.

3) Regarding Hairfetish2016, thank you for what you’ve shared with the community—especially the genuine, paid content that supports real content creators.

And here’s one of the issues: if we keep relying on AI, real creators will disappear. And isn’t that what we all love in the first place? The real thing.

So everyone can do what they want with their money; I, too, have spent money on this before, and I still do. There’s no monopoly. But I think we need to take these three issues into account. We shouldn’t lump them all together and just stubbornly dig in our heels.

What’s more, the moderators are showing no understanding and are censoring posts related to this debate… it’s becoming repressive, abusive, and disappointing.
