The change is due to new age verification laws in the UK.

    Search for adult selfie, submit found photo for age verification. Done.

            Definitely, if the verification requires more than just a photo, something like this is the optimal solution. Flood the Persona AI with false data

      LPT: Turn safe search off, and you don’t even need the NSFW subreddits. You can search for adult anything and those results are guaranteed to contain porn. Usually, the more you scroll, more hard core it gets. When you go deep enough, you’ll eventually start finding furries too.

            Can confirm. There are things you can’t unsee.

            You’ve been warned.

          Furry by itself is largely no longer considered shocking and may even be getting close to mundane, but the thing to remember is that furry pornography can be and often is also in another kinky category at the same time. I think people who are into furry stuff (which includes myself, I’m not being judgemental either) may be more likely to be sexually “adventurous” in other ways as well.

              I completely get it. If I didn’t have a sense of humor about it I’d be miserable.

        Sounds like a bad way to do things. Won’t you end up with gore on your feed? Not to mention it would be hard to filter out really dehumanizing, gross porn (which is frankly a description that fits most of it anyway)

          That’s why I like old school image boards with filtering. Some places have such specific tags to exclude or include and it’s nice

        Don’t have to go particularly deep if you search “furry porn”, life hack

        Less for crap sites, like Reddit or porn, which at my age in any case don’t cause much interests, but the age prove also appears in movie streams classified as +18 and even +16, even in YouTube and not only in movies, also in some Music, like eg. Harakiri for the Sky - Funeral Dreams, because harsh content and others, blocked by the US Flanders moral.

        Pretty sure that not all NSFW subreddits are focused on images and/or videos,in which case this suggestion does not seem to work.
