OK, but I'm not understanding your point. I mean it's all relative. Go back 10-15 years earlier and a very large percentage of uuencoded files uploaded to Usene

OK, but I'm not understanding your point. I mean it's all relative. Go back 10-15 years earlier and a very large percentage of uuencoded files uploaded to Usenet were adult content. That doesn't mean NNTP or uuencode were primarily for porn.
On the web, similar situation for DeviantArt and a lot of other sites.
- jchw 3y agoExactly. I always assumed porn's role in Tumblr was a bit exaggerated, but actually it seems like it really was pretty big, especially considering that we're talking about something that was far, far, far more mainstream than Usenet. (and thus at least in my mind, you'd expect it to be smaller by percentage.) > DeviantArt Of course it's complicated. DeviantArt never really allowed pornographic content, but obviously it wound up with a lot of fetish content that blurred the lines regardless. DeviantArt is basically a case study all on its own.
