- meowface 10y agoEugh.
- myf01d 10y agohow I use porn sites: 1. register an email account to some unknown email provider with unintelligible username and email names and don't use it for anything after registration. 2. register to a new google account with another unintelligible username and email names referring to backup email registered in 1 and don't use it in any personal or professional needs. 3. go to porn sites. 4. after some time register a new google account referring to email registered in 2 and never use the old 2 emails in 1 and 2 again. 5. repeat 4 every 6-8 months.
- forgetsusername 10y agoHow I use porn sites: 1. Go to free site and watch videos without ever even considering registering for anything.
- myf01d 10y agoyour ISP knows everything anyway. I'm afraid that they will blackmail us in the future since most porn sites don't use https.
- jsprogrammer 10y agoBlackmailed for porn by your ISP? Aren't they the one forwarding it to you? Why not write a script to pull down tons of stuff?
- webkike 10y agoWith what? The fact that you watch porn? Jeez what a sin.
- orblivion 10y agoThe fact that you watch a specific kind of porn.
- fixxer 10y agoThis is why you should watch all the different kinds.
- pasquinelli 10y agothat's been my strategy. at first there was a lot of stuff i didn't like, but mostly all that has grown on me. mostly.
- forgetsusername 10y agoIf it exists and is easily accessible, you're not alone.
- adminprof 10y agoIt's never like that. They'll be very explicit about your porn viewing. "webkike is addicted to asian milf porn. last saturday, he spent 4 hours during the day on 238 videos. at night, he switches to videos of teens being choked. look at this image of a girl in tears, that we cropped from one of the videos on webkike's hard drive. who knows if they're under 18 or not? is this the kind of person you want near your children?"
- pavel_lishin 10y agoHonest question: why? This is a lot of trouble to potentially hide the fact that you sometimes watch porn.
- tomc1985 10y agodoing that whole routine once is probably good enough. Who cares if they grab your porn account? The only thing there will be... porn. Mask your identity and all they have is some rando's porn spam
- djsumdog 10y agoI never understood why porn has a +1 button on it. Why would you want anyone to know that you actually use Google+?

- rokhayakebe 10y agoDude, some people actually have their real picture on porn forums.
- nikatwork 10y agoSome people enjoy very specific genres. Do you really want your family and workplace to know you rather enjoy watching Klingons fellate Ewoks?
- gruez 10y ago>register an email account to some unknown email provider with unintelligible username that actually puts you on the radar, because hardly anyone uses "unintelligible" usernames on unknown email providers. what you really want is legit looking emails (first name + last name + number) on popular provider sites. why draw attention to yourself (albeit anonymously) when you can blend into everyone else?
- sk5t 10y agoAmong millions of email addresses, who would bother to identify and target high-entropy ones, and why?
- EpicEng 10y agoWhy register at all?
- fgandiya 10y agoyou register into pornsites?
- greyskull 10y ago> 2. register to a new google account Is Google back to no longer requiring a phone number for signup?

- mercora 10y agoi can hardly imagine in what situation i would register an account on such sites using a cooperate email address... I mean, not only that i would expect those to be property of my employer (including mails sent and received that is) and thus potentially monitored for whatever reasons but i would also fear to get their brand into a situation like this. I wonder if these people never considered to have a separate private mail address and what might be the reason for that.
- userbinator 10y agoI guess it could be for the same reason people reuse the same password everywhere --- convenience. And if the masses' reactions to things like Snowden, NSA, etc. are any indication, a lot of people just don't care whether they're being watched.
- nitin_flanker 10y agoI don't know why anybody would register for a porn site just to comment. And, even if you do want to register, you can use any temporary email provider to keep your real emails safe. The best one out there is http://mytemp.email http://mytemp.email , I use it almost every day, sometimes for newsletters and sometimes to check product trials. Seriously guys, people really register on porn sites?
