Nsfw images can't be monitised with ads.

There's just too damn much of it, and the people accessing it generally aren't stopping to be advertised to. That's a lot of storage and bandwidth costs with very little ability to make money back.

That and the desire to make money while being at the mercy of two card processors who set the rules. If you want MasterCard or Visa support then remove porn.

If everyone would just stop clicking on ads, this whole "the customer is the product" business model across the internet would stop within a week.

I hear you and I'm with you. I don't even look at ads, I don't permit my software on my hardware to offend me with them.
