Porn is increasing here
We tend to notice things more when they aren't to our preference, but a quick look at our pages shows that hardcore content makes up a small portion of the overall content. The mix of overtly sexual content has been consistent from the beginning, and it's always driven by what the users want, not some corporate agenda.
This site is all guys
According to Google Analytics, women make up almost half of our visitors. Males will always be majority of visitors to any adult site, but you probably won't find one with a female presence that can match ours.
This site is becoming more commercialized
This site is free for you to use, but it's not free to run. It must earn revenue somehow to exist. We have never forced you to endure pop-up windows, full-screen ads, blind links, or ad bumpers on our videos. We've never spammed anyone or sold our users' info. We never sold out to a heartless corporation. We could have made much more revenue by expanding beyond wam, yet have always chosen to remain 100% on-topic. Much of our support comes from our download stores which advertise on our forums. But even there, you have a choice to not click on those threads which are clearly labeled as ads. If you don't even want to see those links, and furthermore wish to disable most of the ads around the site, you can join VIP which allows you to filter them out. There is simply no way for a site to exist without any advertising at all, but here you always have the power to avoid the ads.
Models are only here for money
We shouldn't assume that money is the only reason a model is here. Just because some models choose not to create content for free doesn’t mean they’re scammers or only in it for a quick buck. They can enjoy their profession just like you can enjoy yours, plus be their own boss in the process. Models work hard to put themselves out there for your enjoyment, so hold back the cynicism and give them the same respect you’d want in your own profession.
Harrassment is tolerated
Unlike other social media websites, we do not allow users who demean or belittle others. Also unlike other sites, the owner Messmaster gives personal attention to every single flag and report. There is simply no way for harassment to run rampant here, even if that accusation gets thrown our way sometimes. When someone feels aggrieved, it may be for a legitimate reason, but in a world where people are often ignored, the tendency is often to embellish the story a little so their voice gets heard. Unfortunately there are people who who wait for these situations, take the most cynical interpretation, and then predict the downfall of the whole site with a peculiar glee. These people pour salt on the wound right when the community is at its most vulnerable, but almost never do anything to boost the community or offer real actionable ideas. We call these people chaos agents, and while they'll always be around, they can always teach us something about how humanity really works.
People are leaving UMD for other sites
There used to be many more sites catering to the WAM audience, and we've always supported them, linked to them, and suggested that producers offer their content on as many platforms as possible. Over the decades we've watched sadly as they've disappeared, so we are extremely happy if more alternatives are popping up for our community to enjoy. Besides a few anecdotes from disgruntled users, it is not true that UMD policy or moderators are causing droves of people to defect from this site.
UMD is based in the UK
This site was started in Wilmington, Delaware, USA back in 1998 and is currently run from Philadelphia by the same guy, Messmaster.
UMD is just another corporate site
This site needs to generate revenue in order to operate, but it's made ethical decisions that no other site would: We've never used pop-up ads, blind or misleading links, or video ad bumpers. We've never sold user data or spammed anyone. We don't even have a bot problem. This remains a deeply personal, private project of Messmaster, driven by the community's consensus rather than revenue goals.
