When should you add the NSFW tag?

How to Tag Your Page as NSFW?
Log in to your Buy Me a Coffee account, navigate to Settings, and scroll down to the 'Mark as NSFW’ field. There, you can add 'NSFW' as a tag.
What Happens When I Apply the NSFW Tag?
When you mark your page as NSFW on Buy Me a Coffee, a notification will alert visitors that they must be 18 or older to view the content, indicating that the creator has published posts marked as Not Safe For Work. Visitors will need to click 'Yes, I'm 18 or older' to access your page.
What Happens If I Don’t Apply the NSFW Tag?
