Tickle Science

[Jamesplaining]

Hello people,

I’m launching a new project on Instagram, and it’s called Tickle Science.

https://www.instagram.com/ticklescience

As you may notice, the page is pretty old, because I used it for Italian contents so far, but from now on posts will be in English.
We will talk about tickling from a scientific, social and psychological perspective, sometimes discussing also the sensual or sexual point of view.

Once in a while I’ll be posting here to update about new – hopefully interesting – contents. Feedbacks are always good.

Your friendly neighboor, James

Make sure to be an expert on IG's terms of service. They have gotten pretty strict over the years

Actually I never had this issue, so far.
I think mostly depends on how explicit the material is. The only thing I noticed is that the tickling hashtag is shadowban, but until you don’t show anything it seems to be ok. Did you have any problem with Instagram?

Neither did I, until my account was suspended. It had been up for years.

...and you would be wrong. My material was not explicit, and the one time I reported someone for reposting my content - after I'd already had a number of my non-explicit photos removed in spite of being private - I was told they weren't doing anything against the terms of service.

Instagram doesn't enforce their own rules consistently.

Doesn't it seem kind of redundant to post these topics on Instascam when you can post them on here instead?

While I'm no fan of the 'gram, obviously, this place is far from the only, or even the best, venue to advertise content. My clips get way more engagement on Twixxer than they do here, and before my IG got rugpulled I had over 2k followers, many of whom actually bought stuff.

I can see how that puts you in a difficult spot. You want to use these corporate social networks to get the most views, but you don't want to deal with them fucking you over due to censorship in the name of being family-friendly. While this isn't the best solution, I'd recommend using alternative and open-source social networks like Minds, Mastodon, and Odysee. Minds is like Facebook but decentralized and free speech friendly, Mastodon is like Twitter but lets you create your own community, and Odysee is like YouTube but running on a blockchain. I personally never experienced Reddit as a company being censor heavy when it comes to fetish content, so if you want to use that, along with an open-source alternative, Lemmy, go ahead. If you really want to say "Fuck you!" to Big Tech, I also recommend using Bitcoin for payment processing, as companies like PayPal have been known to freeze or cut off funds to porn sites.

I can tell you that in the last 6 months I've toyed with their AI, and there are some areas they identify as red flags, but it is totally usable. The hard reality of social media by meta is that they want people to be able to use their product so they will make accommodations within reason.

You would, eh? On what sales data and/or experience with selling content do you base that recommendation, or are you simply on a "big tech bad" tip?

While it may be true smaller networks aren't as censorious, they also don't have any kind of audience. I have a whopping 8 followers on BlueSky and most of them are models. My FetLife account is dead. When I ask people to "follow me over on XYZ" to try and build a following on a new network, they don't.

TBF I haven't tried Minds, but one of the podcasts I like to listen to talks about it once in a while. Maybe I'll take a look.

No, Reddit just hates producers and actively traffics in pirated material.

Point taken. Although I'm quite knowledgeable about open-source software, I'm not knowledgeable about sales of fetish content on alternative platforms because I don't have any experience with that. Because these platforms are generally used by people who have a basic understanding of how that works, some of which are content creators who were formerly on one of these big tech platforms before they got finally had enough of the platform's bullshit, they are thankfully growing, but sadly not realistically enough to where they can be a legitimate replacement for their big tech counterparts. I'd say one of the reasons for the slow growth is the followers of these content creators preferring to stay on the big tech platforms because that's all they know (which is typical of normies). However, once Web 3.0 becomes the new norm in the next decade or two, these alternative platforms will inevitably gain massive userbases due to the decentralized nature of Web 3.0.
