cThe search is nice, but there are so many basic features missing that would make it much easier to use. For example, let me sort from oldest to newest, or by most likes. Trying to browse with tabs is virtually impossible. You can't open individual posts in separate tabs. When you are searching tags, you can't open posts in separate tabs, so if you click on a particular post, you have to start the search all over again. Nor can you open "chat" in a separate tab. Commenting is a shit show. You never know if a comment posts, so you end up posting comments like ten times unnecessarily. And although it has an option to delete a comment, it doesn't work.
Using the calendar works sometimes, but often when you are scrolling through a particular date, the site malfunctions and just keeps repeating the same posts over and over again so you can't get to earlier posts. And it will post dead videos, which you have to scroll up to find the one that actually works.
PPV posts in DM don't have an option to select the resolution.
The site looks like it was built in 2002. It is not a well designed site at all.
As for your last paragraph, I don't disagree that uploading content to sites like this can be great promotion. I've found several creators that I've subscribed to through this site. But its not my call how someone, especially amateur creators, promote their content. It belongs to them. So I, personally, will never post something I get from OF, JFF, Fansly, etc.
