          I went to go upvote it (it’s still there in “all”) just because you mentioned it.

          A lemming in the truest sense of the word.

    Just remember how quickly Tumblr fold after they started banning porn.

    Don’t ever underestimate the power of horniness in which large part of the internet runs on.

      Technology has more or less flowed with the proliferation of porn. VHS (over Betamax), bluray (over HD-DVD), online payments and other Internet features rose to prominence because pornographic content helped spearhead their adoption.

        I will die on the hill that blu-ray won over HD-DVD purely because the PS3 could play blu-ray and the Xbox 360 couldn’t play either. Blu-ray players were crazy expensive when the PS3 came out, to the point that the PS3 was the cheapest blu-ray player when it came out.

            Porn industries only chose blu-ray once it was already in the PS3. Out of all the HD-DVD players and blu-ray players on the planet combined at the end of the format war 10 out of 11 were PS3s. Also not to mention that almost everyone backed blu-ray and it was the objectively better format. It held 40% more information and was backed by the biggest media companies. On top of the fact blockbuster went blu-ray.

            Honestly it’s very tiresome that everyone says that porn did it when you can look at the facts and see that the war was won by blu-ray from the start and that most porn content was available on both formats for a long time, basically guaranteeing that it couldn’t have affected the outcome. Like I get that “haha porn funny” but it clearly wasn’t the deciding factor, and arguably not a factor at all. Like any cursory look into the history dispels the myth immediately which makes me wonder why everyone feels the need to parrot it as if it’s fact.

    OF models Ruined all the porn subreddits. It went from sources material to some chick having a seizure for 8 seconds hoping you will give her money.

    meh, for me the gonewild crowd peddling their OF accounts and the inevitable thirsty interactions are a sign of a falling porn quality index, really wish something could be done about it. but in one thing you’re right, reddit is done.

    Y’all have never heard of pornhub? Idk how you people will get off to 5 second clips or photos, it’s not the 90s anymore. And it’s annoying going to some chick’s profile and seeing all these duplicate posts across different subs/communities

    You aren’t wrong with this theory. It’s why betamax and hd-dvd lost too

      That’s a myth. Betamax lost because it couldn’t record long enough. Movies had to be on two tapes. By the time they finally extended the time VHS was already dominant
