Never thought we'd be rooting on Big Porn to help save integrity of the internet, but I'm all for it. They brought us HD, 4K, VR, now let's go save the rest.

They also motivated endless generations to work as pizza deliverumy guys, plumbers or TV technicians

I always feel bad for just a moment when I order a pizza because you know on some level the delivery guy is hoping this delivery will be the one. Sexy lady in a corset or maybe naked, maybe more than one lady! Sigh, just a big straight guy- at least he was polite and tipped well.

They brought us HD, 4K, VR

They also brought us video streaming and online payment systems. Both were technologies pioneered by porn sites.

As well as huge progress in Blender's development!

And VCRs and modern streaming video players. Pornhub had better seeking, thumbnails, and the "people watched this part" graph before YouTube.

I've always rooted for big porn

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 49 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

And small porn. It's not about the size, it's about what you do with it.

I was in the pool!

And the water was cold

Masturbation. That's what people do with it

The internet arguably exists as a mass phenomenon because of porn. They have their shit and unethical parts. But, on the internet tech side, almost all the good (and some of the bad) trends appeared on porn first.
