How I use porn sites: 1. Go to free site and watch videos without ever even considering registering for anything.

your ISP knows everything anyway. I'm afraid that they will blackmail us in the future since most porn sites don't use https.

  Blackmailed 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 ago
  With what? The fact that you watch porn? Jeez what a sin.
  - orblivion 10y ago
    The fact that you watch a specific kind of porn.
    - fixxer 10y ago
      This is why you should watch all the different kinds.

        that'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.

      If it exists and is easily accessible, you're not alone.

    It'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?"

      I'd love to be at the pitch meeting at Time Warner, Comcast, or Verizon, where one of the execs says, "Look, we all know controlling the infrastructure is a suckers game, and the real money is in blackmail." "Right, brilliant thinking Ted. What about profitability?" "Well, we'd have to do this to a lot of customers to make it worthwhile, since our annual revenues dwarf what most people could pay. I'd say roughly 30% of our customers should be sufficient for a trial period though. But once we get the system down, I'm sure we'll reap economies of scale, and claim a lot of first mover advantages." "Oh, but is there a risk that some customers might be turned off by the new blackmail feature? Would retention become a problem?" "Doubtless no. Once they realize any ISP can blackmail them, they'll hardly want to tell any other ISP what they're up to. I have a feeling this will make them customers for life." "Sounds great Ted. Have you even found any downside risks? I can hardly imagine any." "Well, if just one of our third of customers tells the police, we'll probably all go to jail and our company will be destroyed by the scandal." "Is that all?" "The class action lawsuits, but legal is still working out projections there, so it's probably not a serious consideration." "Well that's easy Ted, we just need to convince people not to tell the police. What's your plan for that?" "That's the beauty, sir. Once we're experts at blackmail, we can convince people to do whatever we want just with more blackmail. It would definitely be a core competency at that stage."

        I chuckled so much after reading the last line in your dialogue that my mouse pointer took a good 2 seconds before accurately finding the upvote arrow.

  HTTPS or no, your ISP knows that you visit porn sites. I mean, come on -- it's not like you were visiting some encrypted path on xhamster.com for the articles, right?
  - mwambua 10y ago
    Assuming that you have a private DNS server, with HTTPS they'll only know that you visited an IP that points to xHamster... your browser only requests for a path after a secure connection is established. (http://stackoverflow.com/a/8858241/1979475 http://stackoverflow.com/a/8858241/1979475) The only way to get around the IP problem is to use a VPN or Tor.

        Ahh... Thanks! I missed that.

  In that case it seems beeg (NSFW) must be one of the best sites for this purpose. No registration and uses https.

    Does anybody know the background of this site? It appears to exist solely as free, relatively high quality hosting for studio releases. What are the studios getting out of this? Is this site running legal content? What is the revenue model?
    - icebraining 10y ago
      My guess is that studios are losing the war against tube sites, and they'd rather work with one that guarantees that videos have watermarks and a link back to their site.

  Xhamster uses https! Which is great, because my ISP doesn't learn of my interest in German-language fetish videos. Ja! JA!
