I doubt they have any moral objection to it. But in general, if a site allows porn, it rapidly becomes a porn site. Look at OnlyFans, which started as a site for fans of assorted niche interests, only four years ago, and is a byword for porn today. I suspect that they just want to avoid Substack turning into that, because it's not the business they want to run.

I agree as I was a fan of Quora until I discovered it had loads of pornographic posts and questions. Stopped using it as I’m not against porn just think it’s a private matter.

I realized Quora was far left so I never go there.

It's like if you want to keep a sensible profound conversation inside a group where there are shouting thugs.

Or, in another metaphor, if you try to keep an electrical circuit operating, and thrusting it in high voltage.

It takes some moderation to think about the deep.

Porn doesn't tell you "a big deal" (pun intended) on sex, rather limiting itself to the empty repetition of violence.
