A lot of stuff has moved either to social media, like twitter (which is notoriously poor for discoverability) or Discord servers (which are part of the ungoogleable deepweb). So your methods of discovering new content may need to change. I also think that the traditional "pay per view" porn model (which seems really common across WAM / sinking stuff for some reason?) is being superseded by subscription based platforms such as Patreon and OnlyFans. I haven't really seen many quicksand producers on these platforms though, and I'm kinda wondering when they're going to make the leap.
There also seems to be a decent amount of muddy content (and WAM stuff in general) coming out of Japan and China right now. I don't speak either of those languages though so again finding that content is pretty difficult.
I think that Patreon and Onlyfans are good for content/personalities with broad appeal, but not for niche content. You're right about Social Media though. Once a platform like Twitter gets an idea of what you're interested in, you don't have to look for anything. It comes right at you.
But the number of views I get here tells me that there are still hundreds of folks who like coming here looking for stuff. That's good enough for me to keep the lights on.
We're getting close to launching a sister forum to this - and it may very well have a Discord Server as a companion to it. We'll see.
