      Porn in this context means content that’s extremely satisfying to look at.

      Because the (expected) high quality of the maps should bring satisfaction and pleasure to the people here. People who are interested in maps in general.

      That’s similar to „food porn“: photos of food that look so good you feel pleased looking at them (preferably eating too).

      When you add „-porn“ to something that isn’t inherently sexual, it means intense appreciation for that thing, basically.

      it was supposed to have interesting and maps so cool it’d „make people orgasm“ or something like this I guess…

      Instead we have charts daily

      It’s for people like me who are aroused by maps, a subset of paraphilia.

      It’s a metaphor for gratuitous excess, just like pornography is a gratuitous excess of sensuality

      It’s supposed to be for interesting map. Historic, artistic, odd projections, new perspectives.

      Now it’s just lazy statistics and data overlayed on a Google maps projection. Featuring such riveting content as „X is closer to Y than to Z“ or „more than the half the world’s population live in this area“ or „what X is most popular in each US state“. Reposted. Every. Single. Day.

      A long time ago this sub was only for the best of the best maps. Now it’s for sub par maps so the name makes no sense any more.
