I guess I can understand why I'm being downvoted, but I'll share more info.

FYI, the homepage is SFW.

This was a goofy idea that I launched 2 years ago to test out Amazon SES and Sendy along with some content marketing skills I was wanting to put to use.

At the moment I spend ~10 minutes each morning making the email. When I do a shirt, I wind up spending ~ 20 hours sending out ones I've sold.

It's got ~10k subscribers who are all loyal fans (60% open rate on emails). I'm selling about 100 shirts everytime I post one for sale. I think there's tons of opportunity that I am not realizing as I've lost interest.

Happy to answer any other questions.

Serious question - are all the images submitted? How do you know nothing is 'revenge porn'?

Yep, all submitted. I don't know that, but have the obligatory DMCA page. I've never been asked to remove one.
