       | Now if only I could tell their algorithm to stop recommending
       | step-sibling/parent fantasy porn... yuck.

       | Pornhub shift to user-made content are resulting in more money
       | and control for creators and, at least in my opinion, a much
       | better marketplace for porn consumers. It's also gradually
       | transforming/marginalizing the traditional porn industry, which
       | is where a lot of the worst parts of the sex industry thrived.

       | I think some people will lament the shrinking spaces where people
       | can produce and consume porn anonymously. But porn is a
       | gargantuan industry. It only seems like it exists on the margins
       | because it's been forced to act that way. In reality, it needs to
       | be regulated like any other major industry that occupies such a
       | sensitive area. And I think there will always be space on the
       | true margins for people who want their sex/porn outside of the
       | mainstream.
