discussion How does it help the site grinding for LC?

[DrinkingPurifiedWate]

I get that it cost money to run a site. I would be mo willing to pitch in money wise if nothing was locked behind a paywall. So how does grinding help?

Afaik the main reason for the coin system is to lock controversial content behind a wall of trust. There were issues of reporting to the site's host. It's been discussed a lot, just look at this thread

But that kind of defeat the purpose if you just pay.

I admire the determination of whoever will take out their wallet for the chance to snitch on a videogame forum. I see your point tho

Grinding makes sure the usual users aren't bots, and gives us chance to all interact.
However, I presume people who end up buying Lewdcoin keep the site afloat, so those impatient folks. I salute you!

The option to pay with real money came much later because many users kept asking for it.

Do not underestimate the power of even a little bit of friction

this is done to hide controversial content from the eyes of everyone who comes in, so that if anything happens, the site does not get into some kind of scandal and is not blocked
