Kind of fun to make this argument for Pornhub when visiting their website with JavaScript disabled just seems to render a blank page :)

Also a fun argument, the times I've seen analytics on it, old.reddit.com seems to hover around/below 10% of the visitors to subs. But I bet this varies a lot by the subreddit.

- diggan 3y agoBeen possible to do without JavaScript before, and is still possible today :) Where there is a will, there is a way. I'd still argue Pornhub is a bad example for the point parent was making.
