This. I really was hoping for something more inclusive. Sure, Tapas needs to make that money somehow, but this is everything I was hoping it wouldn't be:
It'll be dedicated to premium stories that feature explicit content that we otherwise cannot publish on the mobile apps.
I don't see the point in alienating, what, 90% of the community?
The focus on BL right now also seems... off-putting. We have that on the main page already, why push it even more? BL fans are sure to find their content one way or another because afaik they're a dedicated base.
I was hoping for more options, not less. This feels restricting and devaluing. I don't want to apply for premium to be able to write mature content on here, and I honestly don't understand what's so hard about a mature section that just throws in all works with the M tag.
Mature doesn't JUST mean sexy times, and I'd like to hope that Tapas staff know that and look for niches with which they can push new content and have their income at the same time. This shouldn't be impossible imo.
