Big platforms are almost always run as a business first and foremost. They will ultimately comply if it hits their bottom line. With baraag, there is no monetization of its users by offering premium features or by selling their private data. There is no ad revenue. It is hosted purely out of passion for freedom of expression in fictional art and the support from its community.
There is a misconception that baraag is only for a certain type of content. But the truth is that this reputation is simply a consequence of growing censorship on mainstream platforms, artists taking refuge because they have no where else to go. With regular adult content now being targeted by censors, baraag continues to stand with all fictional content creators as it always has.
