I’m sure inflation has affected that too

With other industries, owning 5, 10, 15 other sites might be indicative of a monopoly. But there is a metric fuckton of porn online.
Edit: pardon me, a *metric fucktonne
Can you define what part of PornHub owning a lot of other porn sites makes them a monopoly? Part of being a monopoly is being anticompetitive. What has PornHub done in terms of lobbying or other anticompetitive practices which makes it more difficult for a new company sharing porn to take hold? Because there is a ton of porn online which is unrelated to PornHub.
I’m all for calling out monopolies, but I legit don’t see one here. I’m open to being wrong.
I don’t believe that the thing about actresses getting work after 22 is reliant on PornHub. Porn has worked that way for 50+ years my dude.
“Every other site”, obvs, it’s right there in the comment. You mean you’re not uploading your driver’s license to watch someone get railed?!

OP’s claim here is just BS. PornHub is in no way a monopoly or even close. It reads like someone who has literally never searched for porn on the internet. Astroturf.
Yeah, well that’s the thing: they like the idea of being against government regulations, but if it is presented to them as a moral issue, they eat it up.
Case in point: a comment in this thread loosely trying to pose PH’s response as being against states’ rights – in this case, due to the states tacitly regulating morality. I’m sure if the issue was e.g. raising state taxes, all of a sudden states’ rights wouldn’t matter.
The right wing learned a while ago that if you can pose anything as morality, there is a whole class of people that will simply lick the boot.
Unfortunately they’ll go after that next.
I’m legitimately surprised at the number of pro-government control comments in this thread, though. We are truly doomed because of the people in the back.
I’ve never, ever seen anyone lick boots harder than this.
I have for more than a year. I’ve never had a single problem, but I’m on an all AMD system.
I’ve been impressed with Budgie, especially on older hardware, as an alternative to Gnome. Hoping things keep going well.
I had a similar conundrum: what to use on a Thinkpad X60s, which is a Core Duo machine. I tried Arch 32, but after trying Debian, I stuck with the latter.
I usually only use it as a dumb terminal via SSH, but Debian was just sort of… easier.
I love that it isn’t all soft corners everywhere, but the pill-shaped buttons and selections seem out of place. I hope they can be made more square.
Ugh, fine, have an upvote.
Very interesting. My rig is still on Pop mostly because I’ve just never had issues with it. I use the Liquorix kernel for a little added spice.
On my laptop I’ve been playing with NixOS lately (used to run Arch btw). I love it so far, but haven’t explored it for gaming.
Foobar2000, which is a Windows application but available as a snap using wine.
I really want to use DeaDBeeF because it is Linux native and has similar customization features (I like big album art, for example), but sadly its library management leaves a lot to be desired compared to Foobar’s. I don’t want to have to generate a playlist every time I want to listen to an album, nor do I want to have to clear that playlist when I’m done.
I haven’t found any other player with even remotely similar customization available.
Fallacious question. In real life there can be no good options. That doesn’t mean we should support one for being less bad.
Seems to be that way. I agree with your insinuation that “they aren’t trying to sell as many ads as Google and Facebook – yet”. I don’t see any special ethics beyond keeping their brand loyalty afloat.
Exactly. Not sure why it would be on me for refuting a statement.
Apple doesn’t rely on selling or advertising your data as a business segment.
That was a claim offered without evidence.
Hey there ya go! Providing a source for the argument you made first! Thanks.
This. One thing Linux is about is personal freedom.
