Itch.io’s NSFW Purge: Smut Sellers Face Digital Exile
After itch.io yanked over 20,000 pages of adult content, creators are left feeling 'betrayed, exhausted, and fearful.' As platforms clamp down harder, smut comic artist Brad Guigar noted a shift from mere anxiety to action: 'Before [itch.io], the NSFW comics community would grouse and complain... This time around, we’re actually doing something.' With their livelihoods hanging by a thread, these adult content creators are scrambling for new ways to keep the internet’s naughty corners alive.

Adult content creators losing platforms faster than politicians losing promises. At this rate, even your grandma’s knitting blog is safer than a smut comic.
