The JOI Database Review

One of the front page's standing shelves is headed New Patreon Exclusives. It sits between Popular Uploads and Random Videos on a site that asks for no payment to watch anything, and the performers whose handles fill the index — dozens of them, each a channel — are the sort who sell that material themselves. Whether any of them put their files here is not a question the site takes up anywhere.

What it is otherwise is a well-built index. Videos are sorted by today, this week and this month as well as by popularity and at random; there is a separate Game Downloads section; a Classic view is kept alongside the current one. Performer channels are the primary axis of navigation rather than tags, which suits material where the persona is the product.

The money that does run through the site runs sideways. PayPal sits in the footer next to a Discord invite, a Membership page and a Badges page — a reputation system rather than a paywall. Take it as a finding aid for a scattered scene, and understand that the finding aid is doing something the creators may not have agreed to.
