From scanning the article, it didn't look like there was much news to it. Everyone knows that there is porn on the Internet and that people use their phones to look at it is not surprising.
If the article mentioned actual business metrics or trends out of which I could make a business, it would be perfectly relevant and I wouldn't have much of an issue. There is a lot of business opportunity surrounding pornography. As it is, it's just a top 10 list of porn sites, Which is one step from being a link site. This makes it off-topic at best and offensive at worst.
Some people want to avoid pornography for 'moral' reasons, others aesthetic, and some are just married. I think that it is in the best interests of HN if we avoid alienating these people.

- encoding 18y agoCensoring people makes you right.
- astine 18y agoThis is not an issue of free speech. It's a matter of considering others. You are perfectly in your rights to discuss what you will, but some don't want to hear it and it would behoove one to respect their wishes. There are places to discuss this kind of material, IMHO HN isn't really one of them. Anyway, there used to be three topics that one never spoke of in polite conversation, religion politics and sex, because they always held the risk of offending someone. We avoid two here pretty well and we might as well avoid the third.
- encoding 18y agoNo I was talking about the moderators here [dead]ing my posts. Turn on showdead here. If they don't want the topic discussed then shut down the whole thread but not just one side of the debate. I apologize for double posting but I have requested some recourse for this censoring before and it is totally ignored.
- astine 18y ago'Your' post was made twice, by two people with accounts under an hour old. If you're not willing to stand by your words, why should we listen to you? BTW, the second one wasn't moderated, I don't think; it was karmaed to death I believe.
- encoding 18y agoThey dead some accounts permanently. How am I supposed to stand by my words if I can no longer reply and no one can reply to me? Both are dead'ed. Just look at it.
- astine 18y agoAnd both accounts are less than an hour old. If one of them truly is your main account, then you seem to have had dubious reasons for signing up. If not, it's clear that they are both sock-puppets. If you hadn't of used sock-puppets, I suspect that you wouldn't have been deaded. Your remark certainly wasn't offensive enough in that regard. But, sock-puppets are almost as bad as porn spam and go right against the principles of this site. EDIT: I've noticed more posts of yours that were deaded. You seem to be a troll with contempt for HN and those who use it. We don't have to respect your opinion if your just going to insult us.
