I have absolutely no problem with porn. But as Louis CK said, you could alphabetize the world’s cumulative porn collection from A-Z and sit a newborn baby down and push the play button, by the time he’s dead at 100 he wouldn’t have even gotten through the anal category. So if porn has to pause for a while I thing we can survive.

> wouldn’t have even gotten through there is also Clerks take on this. >So if porn has to pause for a while I thing we can survive. porn has been kind of invisible driving force pushing tech innovation forward like for example internet speed before Netflix, etc. ( i was a teenager in USSR back then so i can only suppose that it was also a big consumer for the top tech in publishing industry before Internet), so i'd not be surprised if in the case of coronavirus it will also play a role in advancing and adapting the tech to the new conditions. And while we can definitely "survive" while comfortably WFH for our nice tech salaries, i don't think those people, at least majority of them, are that lucky.

Porn video quality increases a lot year to year. There are probably multiple lifetimes worth of 90s porn out there and I bet almost no one watches it now besides as a curiosity. It's not just video quality either but style. I've noticed that a lot of modern porn tries to have an amateur aesthetic but with high technical proficiency. Compare that to old professional porn where they were still trying to go for some kind of "hollywood of porn" style. I'm sure tastes will continue to change and this generation's porn will lack the novelty future generations crave.

  4k isn’t necessarily a bonus in that world.

    I dont even mean 4k. Just simple 720/1080p quality amateur porn is a huge step up from what we had 5 years ago.

That's not true for the VR material yet.
