This is what he does... he links to both imgur and xhamster. Xhamster he links to one of his vids which has his banner (xhamster obviously as the affiliate). Likely to use the traffic to bump his newly released xhamster upload higher and keep on home page longer.
Imgur he uploads pictures with his site name on it.
The thing is... I, and many others, are doing the same thing (minus linking to xhamster) and getting down voted to hell. We are linking to our own sites that in 1 way or another, help our cause out.
Go check out /pornvids on reddit. Read the sidebar, take notice of the mods. It's all right there in front of you to make your own decision. That subreddit allows ***NO OTHER LINKS*** accept already determined tubes... i.e. youjizz, xhamster, youporn, etc. etc.
So what he is saying is feed the monster more traffic and collect some crumbs from the dinner table... or be banned forever from such a great social networking site as reddit. It's all just a game... no matter who is playing it. |
As an addendum to this, our philosophy isn't to only allow those big tubes(we've added smaller, clean ones in the past and there are still a few on there), but to allow tubes that display with a good format and are clean. We've removed/banned a few of the big boys because malware was detected. This is the main reason we err on the side of caution with smaller tubes also. Before we put this into affect last year, the sub-reddit was suffering from a lot of automated spam to newly acquired tubes that also were hosting malware(whether on purpose or 'cause their broker wasn't so great). We came up with a list that is usually always "clean" to combat this and banned any domains that weren't on this list automatically.
Beeg.com is by far the most widely submitted domain & it's mostly sponsor provided content that's submitted. The sub-reddit goes through various trends. One week, Asians who love anal will be somewhat popular/more trendy while the next it's Lisa Ann. This goes on and on. Last I glanced, the current trend is GFRevenge videos that are on beeg with a sponsor link back to GFRevenge.com, but I haven't paid attention in a couple of days.
As a side note: We don't ban domains by hand. It's automatic. Us NSFW mods have a private sub-reddit where things like this are discussed. As soon as a trend of a user pops up of them submitting to the same domain(that is obviously theirs) over & over, we take a look if the spam filter hasn't already caught it. If it's a problem and the site is covered in ads/pop-ups, it's added to the bot we use. Most of the medium and large NSFW sub-reddits use this bot, so if you've only posted 10 times to one sub-reddit on your domain but you're banned on all NSFW sub-reddits, this is why. Not some conspiracy that someone made up because they have too much free time & think they're a genius. Self promotion is explicitly banned by reddit & it's also defined in their user guidelines/ToS.
