Tonight, grocery store hot bar/deli food. Not often but sometimes... General Tso, loaded potato salad, basically inducing a carb coma.
‘oh, and a Cherry Coke! -
I believe these would be the correct categories

Then select the filter to only show "copy" items and you'll never even know gachas are there.
This. It really does filter out most. No not all. But few searches for anything else are so absolute either right? And we don’t lose our minds and rage because a few miscategorised or badly keyworded occasional *hair* or *socks* make it through do we?
No, just...Gacha...🙃-

a normal business routine in a whore house is not a event, unless sitting on a bar stool till a madam is free is a event
I don’t have interest in the adult listings, but do you know that in many places where selling sex is illegal...that they only define ‘sex’ as ‘opposite sex, phallus in v@g!nal opening activity’? And that most anything else is fair game?
Is it more likely that LL is just turning a complete blind eye to hundreds of monthly event listings, or more likely that they put enough rules in place that cover the legal aspect for their company and then let the rest be up to the residents?

Look at the highlighted event in your own screenshot.
‘I see a 12 hour time frame. That means they put in a start time and an end time
there is a hostess listed, there is no mention of anything for sale. Cover charge? FREE. It’s on an Adult region. There is no sex mentioned. No ‘bits’ in the photo.
‘so....? How exactly does it break the event listing rules? -

but your calculations are only that value if you pay yearly.
This is very true which is why I tried to be clear, , my benefits, citing the numbers and specifying ‘yearly’. I think everyone should look closely at the costs and benefits and choose what’s best for them. It’s not always going to be ‘Premium’. ‘Need’ is quite a loaded term. Do of us truly ‘need’ Second Life or anything in it? No, it is not a necessity. As far as I know, most of the other premium things I listed aren’t available without the membership but you are also correct that not everyone assigns them the same value.

JFC on a broken pogo stick what do you want from me? My freakin life history? Screw you and the horse you rode in on, the horse you ride out on and any horse you ever freakin ride.
Respectfully ma’am, I do not want anything from you, now or ever. I’m very sorry you are in a bad situation. None of us caused that, so venting on me in a thread where I’m discussing (in an appropriate place for it) a 20 cent optional transaction fee in a cartoon online game that no one is required to even play, isn’t quite right. I’m not some heartless git, but I think with what you described, you too have bigger fish to fry than this as well. I wish you the best and I won’t be replying to you any further.

The Adult listings for sex for sale do not follow the SL Event listing rules. You seem to be avoiding that issue.
I have suggested people looking for real events, not 24/7 escort, Cam/phone sex and 24/7 BJ's only check off the G and M ratings. About a dozen times already in the past month. That is using the filters. Most here don't agree with that, claiming their music club on an Adult sim would be missed. And again, most of the Adult listings are not SL Events - as defined by Linden Lab. They belong in Classified Ads.
I’m not avoiding any issue, if you think something is not correct, file an abuse report on it or go clarify it once and for all with LL. If these are events where it’s tips only, and most are, I’m assuming...then nothing is officially ‘for sale’. you don’t have to LIKE that at all, but it’s an important piece of information. could it be a technicality? Maybe. Is it sound enough to allow the events on those grounds? Probably.
But tell me, which do you think is more likely.....that ALL these adult events are not following the rules? Yet just somehow they are magically allowed to be there....or...that you might, just maybe, be mis-interpreting the rules?
Once again...

If you attempt to create a classified or event using adult terms on non-adult land, you will receive an error message. If you find a classified or event listing in an inappropriate maturity category through search, please file an abuse report.
so...adult terms in the adult category in events listings for events that are held on adult land *seem* to be ok. Please check. I think you will find you are mistaken and only the multiple postings and possibly a very small number of event listings will be rule-breaking. Only LL can tell you for sure.
I don’t participate in or attend sex events so I don’t really have that dog in this Particular fight to stump for but I think you are operating on a mistaken premise.

So where does this leave materials? I really don’t want to give them up at all. 😱

Regarding the search and filters: I do not see any of the adult events unless I am logged in and have my filters set to show me adult content. This is what it looks like with maturity ratings on general.
From the maturity ratings page, a paste:

edit...and here’s with both general and moderate checked...I’m not seeing any adult events

nickel and diming me to death isn't going to cut it and it damn sure isn't going to keep me as a customer.
A big part of what is the public, visible and known part of the LL business model is that SL actually IS built on micropayments, though, thousands and thousands of micro transactions, mostly small fees and payments...and it was designed that way from the ground up, right? Everything from the small rent on each 512 of server space ‘land’ to the MP commissions to the cash-out fees and in particular the Linden Dollar buying fees (which have steadily risen). Why would this be any different?
I think I understand that this topic is probably very loaded, may be about more than the L$50, and is likely about feeling as if it’s the straw breaking the camel’s back...but on the other hand, I’m also seeing that L$50 is literally twenty cents USD.

I know how to use search. I know how to filter my own maturity ratings to weed out adult content if I don’t wish to see it. I never expected the adult entertainment listings to go away, I’m sure adult events will continue to thrive in adult venues. Yes your screenshot shows maybe 2 spam that break the listing rules. But I don’t see any that break the Community Guidelines except for the 2 venues that repeated (spammed) too frequently.
I know many people are not agreeing with the Events Calendar changes. I don’t think we’ve seen the full effect of the changes yet, it’s not like they cleared the calendar at any point, I’m sure many of these events were scheduled far in advance, and then as many more as possible were stuffed in hurriedly before the changes to charge for listings took effect too. I rolled my calendar in the ‘list an event’ interface and it looks like events can be scheduled pretty far in advance.
I expect it will take a while for previously scheduled free listings to cycle out but as they do, I’m hoping to see a reduction in repeat-spam of events. -

I went for dinner in world with a friend one time, and we had tomato soup for a starter. It looked so delicious, I had to go and heat up a can to eat in real life.

I’m not in favor of taking working features away from membership tiers, free or premium, without a very good reason and an explanation. It would create uncertainty and an unreliable vibe...making us feel like we can’t depend on the benefits of our chosen membership tier. But they listened to people over the basic membership groups, none were reduced, and they have never taken away any basic membership benefits, have they? Correct me if I’m wrong, I joined in 2008 so before that time is not really on my radar.
Diminished stipend over time but that was for new sign-ups getting a lower stipend, they did not reduce it on older accounts.
I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with a for-profit company rewarding their ongoing paying subscribers...adding more value to premium features, making new paid membership tiers. They did raise our premium membership rates. I also don’t think its unreasonable for a company to keep a free membership at a minimum benefit cap, and develop more features for ongoing paid subscribers, especially those who renew annually, sometimes paying several years at once. So the membership sales were good to see, so was the ability to grandfather the regions. Things like that.
The Events Calendar was not working as it was supposed to and I think there was a chance LL might have just ended it completely instead of deciding to keep it going but charge for listings. The new changes can certainly be challenged, commented on or protested but IMO it’s OK for LL to take a service that had basically become useless with spam events and incentivize it to both generate micropayment revenue and to renew the potential for it to become useful to residents again. And I don’t think it’s unfair to give a more generous perk in listing fees to premium members. The basic listing fee of L$50 is still a micropayment, scalable and an opt-in feature, certainly not a requirement to advertise there at all in order to hold your events! If a basic account holder has one event per week, it’s still less than $1USD per MONTH to publish it, and if your events aren’t turning over enough in venue tips to cover that, then it probably needs to be considered a hobby expense that helps you to play out your fantasy of being a club owner, event producer, dj for tips, etc. I’ll wager many club and venue owners don’t break even...just like most dj’s won’t earn a real minimum wage, most SL models don’t get a wage that even covers what they spend on their heads, bodies, hair, skins, makeup, walks etc...live performers are a different story, they usually ARE paid more, and I don’t think it will be much of a hardship for them, $L50 on a L$5000+tips gig will be OK.
We all know that LL will never please everyone, I don’t really think they intend to, it’s just not going to be profitable enough to serve every niche membership demographic and really, as a privately held company, they are free to define and pursue (and yes, cater more to) their targeted customer... but I also can’t help but feel that part of the reason they aren’t as forthcoming to the general populace with news and development is because of how hard and harshly the criticism often bites them when they do share more.

On the daily, morning coffee, 1-2 cups milk tea or milk chai by the small pot after...or occasional rose matcha latte.
salad every day for lunch or some sort of ‘bowl thing’, heavy on the veg...because that’s just what I like to eat, at or away from computer, varying the protein, some meat days, some meatless.
apples, cheese, nuts as snack.
Not usually on at dinner/supper.
‘if on after supper, a drink or 2 sometimes, otherwise kombucha or mineral water, sparkling. -
