Matthew Cornell I think this is a good example of the kind of experiment which, if "featured" on the front page, might draw people in and and entice them to come back

Matthew Cornell Myles, interested in sex? Curious... So far: one DM, someone who unsub then gave me a second chance. lost one follower so far. surprised! then again, I worded it as a challenge, so maybe people felt motivated to stay. also, I intentionally used "erotica" instead of sex or porn.
