And why exactly is it a use case if you can already buy erotica/porn via specialized payment services without monero?
What's the benefit here? Be clear and specific. Don't randomly bring terms like "privacy", "uncensored" and "freedums".

This does not make sense.
What you're saying is that it's impossible to buy porn/erotica online without monero. This is clearly wrong.
You most definitely could do that before blockchains were a thing.
No, it's not a viable use case.
Developers of such games what the broadest market possible and consumers want easy accessibility and stable updates/support.
The groups outlined above are interested in the product and not promotion of some cryptocurrency.
Both these goals are best served using real currencies, not monero. Such payment systems (using real currency, aimed at content with erotica/porn) are widely available and haven in use for 30+ years.
If you don't want to deal with such payment systems directly (e.g. setup an LLC and other such matters), there are multiple easy to implement distribution approaches that one can launch in ~15 minutes.
This is why I don't trust crypto promoters.
What about it?
It's got its issues (for me the main one are the tankie scum devs), but it seems to be the best platform there is.
The good thing about it is you can move to clients like Piefed and still access all the content / communities.

Love your style!
You don't need crypto as an alternative to MasterCard/Visa. There are multiple national payment systems that de facto work on a public benefit basis or offer no fees or very low fees.
One major example is India's UPI:

Even in a medium sized developing country like Ukraine, I can send anyone money (P2P, business payment, business transaction) with minimal or no fees on a near instantaneous basis off my phone.
I am not on top of recent payment infrastructure developments, but from memory this is relatively common.
No need for scam services like PayPal, Venmo.
And this has been avaible for half a decade minimum (was living in another country before then).
There are only two good use cases for crypto:
- Financial speculation
- Criminal activity and fraud
Childish take. Perfect example of why western online leftism will always be a failure.
You wouldn't be writing this shit if your family had to leave their due to a russian invasion and then eight years later having to deal with another full scale invasion (with a shad part landing in the house next to yours).
Grow up!
