Bio
Cassandra Webb is a Platform-Format Researcher specializing in the structural evolution of adult animation platforms. Her published work focuses on how format-specialist communities (MMD, SFM, Blender, doujin manga) interact with breadth platforms, and how platform infrastructure decisions (HLS streaming tiers, CDN edge distribution, character-page metric systems) shape niche audiences over time.
She contributes editorial reviews to Rule 34 Site Guide focusing on multi-format platforms, AI content policy stratification, and mobile-first platform transitions.
Research focus
- AI content policy. Documenting the 2025 industry-wide AI ban wave and resulting platform-track divergence (curated-from-launch vs banned-with-cleanup).
- Platform format stratification. How format-specialist communities (Iwara MMD, SFMCompile compilations, NHentai doujin) coexist with breadth platforms.
- Mobile-first transitions. Adult-platform mobile traffic patterns post-2024.
- Trust-signal economics. Why multi-layer trust stacks (DMCA + RTA + ASACP + crypto-pay) outperform single-signal platforms in retention.
