That's a good question. If this thread existed within a vacuum, there would be a solution, and it would be fairly simple. Given that it doesn't, I start thinking about more of a compromise instead of a solution.
Firstly, look at the fact that different "contributors" are uploading using different standards, Some are giving out links with no encoding, while others are using various levels. I can simply take any plaintext link and repost that to qualify as a contributor, apparently. That would give me access to these niggas' PMs to get codes on shit (I don't have it in me to prove myself to anonymous niggas to get access to porn). What does that achieve? Have I proven that I'm not a snitch, a DMCA agent or a simp waiting to report to a bitch who won't even give me a free subscription for a month? All it does is show that I'm active on the thread.
Ultimately, because this site attracts all types of niggas, some with poor internet etiquette, and some who just cannot keep treasure troves to themselves, we're at a point where quality control is impossible. If you want to maintain the idea that "we all get to eat", then you cannot find yourself asking for niggas to enter your PMs to get the info. Niggas went and appointed themselves as the High Council or the Elder Gods or some shit. I was fine with the idea of 1.0 or even 2.0 because the clues were in plain sight by those who used them, and no further consultation was required. This new shit requires direct interaction with niggas. At some point, the shit isn't worth the effort. Sure, your links will stay up longer, but you've locked out a bunch of niggas in doing so. At that point, would it not be easier to simply send a single PM to everyone viewed as a contributor, then leaving everyone else to their "mid" content? I've never sent a PM on here, so I don't know whether you can have multiple recipients, but I assume it's a basic function. Don't certain Discords do this? Create a private channel of approved individuals who get the premiere drops? You wouldn't get niggas bitching about "help me, what does this code mean?" littered in the thread either.
Again, given that I'm out here terabytes deep in shit I'm reducing in size, I'm not personally affected. Some shit is just
prohibitively complicated for me. If I catch it, I catch it. If I don't, I don't. You'll never see me asking for a re-up. Not every nigga is me though.
