>>29858 You're not going to like the answer, but it's Twitter. That's where the circles of people producing and sharing content are, and the best way to find more of it is generally to find one, look at their likes/retweets, check out those accounts, follow, and repeat. People hate hearing this, but -- for all it's flaws -- twitter is one of the last places you can do some good ol' fasion web surfing, following one link of genuine grass-roots content to another that's surfaced entirely peer-to-peer, just like back in the geocities/angelfire days. If you stay out of politics on it then you hardly see any. If you see a lot, that's because you're telling the algorithm that's what you engage with. Save EVERYTHING you even kinda sorta half-way like, there is no substitute for that. Sobering truth: there are no exceptions to the universal fact that "nothing lasts forever", that applies to every single little piece of content on the internet and, some day, the internet as a whole. I really know your pain brother. I saw in the "Lost Media" thread that "Cindy's Diaper Punishment" (a shittily written piece of fap fuel, but one that really pushed my buttons regardless) has been nuked from the search results and I couldn't believe it until I checked for myself.

>>29861 >You're not going to like the answer, but it's Twitter. Yeah that seems like the best bet, only problem is the website is never going to organically serve you anything older than 3 days on there, that and you have to deal with virtue signaling and political sperging even if you exclusively follow abdl accounts. Also It's like 75% trannies, I think trannies are hot but some normal women too would be nice >(a shittily written piece of fap fuel, but one that really pushed my buttons regardless) That's what I liked about older diaper writing, it was just here's a character, they're being forced to wear diapers for some reason, they piss or shit in it, they are humiliated, and then you jerk off. Unless you're one of the few who are actually good at writing I don't want any more than that

>>29862 That's true. It takes some digging.

I hope this happens to twitter/x: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2023/09/20/elon-musk-charge-x-twitter-users-monthly-fee/70905407007/

>>29861 Kinda sucks that they just went Instagram/TikTok/etc style and now you can't see the people that liked stuff. Was a good way to browse through profiles with, mostly, the same interests.

Surprisingly, Instagram is very active

>>29879 Yeah, immediately shuts down the spam accounts, might make the website actually useable and profitable, though it would have a much smaller user base. I don't use twitter now, but if it was like, 1.99/month, I might join to see what it's like.

>>30000 dunno social media even allows bots just to inflate their numbers enough to make investors and ad providers cum

Im convinced that there isn't any real amount of good content being made anymore. Tumblr going SFW-ish right at the same time only fans and competitors took off completely anihilated the freeform amateur porn we were so used to. Random girls uploading vids of themselves rubbing one out in a goodnite are now acting like they are owed money for that. Like yeah I want it, but no, me and 99% of people aren't paying for it. Its just not worth it. Additionally new forms of social media have dried up older more creative spaces. Every fap fic thats decent for diapers Ive already read. All the new content for diaper stories is overbearingly self aware and reddit tier special snowflake nonsense that gives more of a damn about the plot than about characters (and by extension, the reader) getting off on diapers. Like it doesn't matter how good your "plot" is. If characters aren't discovering new sexual joys in diapers in every chapter then it doesn't matter. The old spaces that fostered early ABDL content are now just the bastions of grumpy old dudes that dont know how reddit works. I keep hearing about a ton of ABDL users on tiktok and insta but I cant see it. Im not willing to make a tiktok account and go digging. All I know is that when I search for stories or videos now there is actually less content now than there was, 5, 10 or even 15 years ago when I first googled "girls wearing goodnites". Is it over, am I now just a dinosaur who refuses to engage with new social media? Am I the one who is wrong? This is the only vid I could find and hold onto from the glory days of tumblr.

>>30015 >All the new content for diaper stories is overbearingly self aware and reddit tier special snowflake nonsense that gives more of a damn about the plot damn yes. I haven't seen a good new story in a long time. Even perpetual change (an abdl game) wastes too much time in its plot, which is set in a fake utopia of all places. We even get lectured on how they use nanotechnology to grow crops, no kidding.

>>30015 Nowadays the trick is to DM users directly and requesting something specific. I have a few DMs coming every now and then personally asking for something specific and sometimes I will do it as long as it's not too extreme. I am sure I'm not a unique case. Find your girl or boy and shoot them a DM

>>30015 >Random girls uploading vids of themselves rubbing one out in a goodnite are now acting like they are owed money for that. Like yeah I want it, but no, me and 99% of people aren't paying for it. Its just not worth it This is what happens every single time someone posts a jff rip onto the videos threads. Even in the rare instances where one of these ethots has real content, it's sold separately from their onlyfans/jff/etc. for like $15 for a 6 minute video. Like it's just fucking insane when you could buy a 1 month subscription to a real fucking website for $30 and rip several years of studio produced content >All the new content for diaper stories is overbearingly self aware and reddit tier special snowflake nonsense that gives more of a damn about the plot than about characters yup, it's like I get off harder to a photo of a chick in a diaper with a 3 paragraph description of her being forced to wear it than some stories that go on for close to a novel's length. I had to develop a habit of ctrl+fing to see how early diapers actually come up in the story to decide if it's worth even attempting to read >am I now just a dinosaur who refuses to engage with new social media? I've run the social media gamut trying to find smut. The thing with these websites is you can't just go in and say "this is the kind of porn I want, show it to me" (you can kind of do this on reddit but all the diaper ones end up being the same 5 ethots advertising their just for fans page over and over) You have to follow the few people you can find on the surface level by doing that and wait for the magical black box to show you more, and even then it won't be all that good at the end of the day. Twitter has the most by far but even then it's not much and it's a chore to sift through, especially when all the diaper people on there are mentally ill and completely dysfunctional in society so 50% of your feed ends up being people bitching about how they can't pay rent because of trump or something and another 25% ends up being complete random bullshit and advertisers the website recommends you

>>30015 Long stories have infinitely more pay off potential than short stories, I'm sorry that you have the wrong opinion. Remember: it's not quality vs quantity, it's quality x quantity.

>>30048 Yeah but Im not talking about good long stories Im talking about the stuff thats made by redditors and posted to reddit. Outside of that there isn't a ton of xontent being made. And even still, I read stuff for smut value. If its a long story but each chapter brings or hints at new forms of smuttiness that's fine.

> ABDL is like exponentially growing in popularity what makes you say this?

>>30092 Compare the state of the "scene" in 2000 to 2010, then compare 2010 to 2020. Extrapolate. Woosh! Exponential growth. Simple as.

>>30093 How exactly do you measure this « scene » things? How can you affirm that there’s an exponential growth ? Do you have metrics ?

Baby_tb was purged from tumblr, but most of her content is still available at bdsmlr. Back in the old days she posted quite a few captions featuring maternal giantesses as part of the "Planet of Giant series"

>>30093 You could physically get this in local store? A diaper manga....in stores next to lolicons and drama romance incest mangas?

>>30120 Yeah, it's all online now too. Called Omujo, only got two volumes, but it's more than we could have ever hoped for.

>>30096 >How exactly do you measure this « scene » things? You don't, but you can make a reasoned estimation. > How can you affirm that there’s an exponential growth ? Experience and common sense. If you've been around long enough, you have been around long enough to see things change. And grow. > Do you have metrics ? You could pick almost anything (number of artists, average skill level of the median artist, the very fact that there is now more than one diaper brand specifically catering and competing to earn $$$ specifically from fetishists, etc) but I don't really feel like setting down goalposts just see them get carted off which is what these arguments always turn into. To first agree on how we know, we need to agree on how we can tell, and do do that we need to agree on how we can tell we can tell, and to do that... etc. Again: common sense and experience. I know when an internet argument in bad faith is starting to sprout up and I shan't be carrying it on any further.

>>30130 It’s not bad faith,but I feel like it’s a bit ambitious to just declare we’re going through an exponential growth without anything backing it up except « trust me,bro ». Again,don’t want to start a stupid internet argument here neither.I’ve been around since 2003,I knew place like yorthecob and deeker,and I don’t feel like there’s an explosion in numbers in the ABDL community. It’s especially harder to tell since the community is more and more split in places with low traffics instead of pandering in one or two big places like before.

My periodic checks include; Deviantart Twitter Discord account (on 7different abdl art servers) Pixiv Furaffinity e621 Inkbunny Sofurry Here 4chan (/aco/ and /d/ threads) kemono.party Then sometimes I google for keywords to try and find random stories.

>>30131 > without anything backing it up except « trust me,bro » Tu quoque? There aren't any studies or statistics or surveys or graphs with positive slopes to refer to here. There is only a person's own judgment.

>>30131 >it’s a bit ambitious to just declare we’re going through an exponential growth without anything backing it up except « trust me,bro ». You seem confused that other people care enough what you think that they're trying to convince of their side, and not just stating the obvious.

>>30133 You should check the /trash/ diaper threads as well

>>30131 >It’s not bad faith It IS bad faith when it's implicit you only permit something as valid when it's based on your own pre-approved criteria.... except that you don't actually have any.

>>30092 >>30096 >>30131 « L O L »

>>30174 >acting like he's not the retard in this situation.

>>30176 > NOOOO NOTHING DOESN'T CHANGE >:(

It's not like we have an annual census. I see no point in discussing numbers or growth without hard numbers. Maybe someone could track social media numbers over time to track "growth" however pointless it is.

feels like the scene is bigger these days, when i first got into abdl the only diapers you could get were Bambinos, how many diaper brands are there now?

>>30197 Increased engagement and capitalization doesn't mean relative or absolute numbers are neccessarily increasing.

>>30182 This shouldn't need to be said, but social media is not representative of reality. And while I'm here, why the fuck are some of you talking about scene growth like it's a good thing? Haven't you seen literally anything else that started good and became popular? There's a reason why the 'chans tend to hate popular things. It's not a meme or contrarianism, it's because when things gain mainstream attention, then whatever that thing is soon becomes overrun with complete fucking shitheads who end up ruining it. I'd rather ABDL be forever taboo, forever hated and judged, than have it become popular. We're already in a sorry state, let's not make it worse by welcoming in herds of fucktards.

>>30200 see >>30130 Why are you even still in this thread when it has been obvious from the start that you're just going to go "THAT DOESN'T COUNT!" to every answer you get?
