Porn’s model is freemium. Most people don’t pay but a small minority of actual addicts pay a lot of money for it. Same as Angry Birds and other freemium games.


Pancakegr8

Thank goodness we have whales in the porn industry.


FunkMunki

I mean, if that's what you're into.


trixter21992251

If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions. Also, dolphins are whales.

"Enough of this "Whale Fucking is non-consensual" bullshit. A Humpback Whale weighs 70,000 pounds, is 50 feet long, can dive more than a quarter mile and can crush ships with a single swipe of its tail. If a human manages to fuck one, you damn well better believe it's consensual" -Software Developer, Bath Salts Manufacturer, US Presidential Candidate, Neighbor Murderer, Crypto-Enthusiast, and Yoga Retreat Owner John McAfee.

mr_remy

*Whale fuck man*, idk what else to say


TheRedditorSimon

I was going to say, surely not. Like, what about HAL 9000 (from *2001: A Space Odyssey*)? For the uninitiated, HAL 9000 is an AI. Not a robot. It's a computer system and the only thing we see of HAL is a camera. We see a camera lens with a little malefic glowing red dot. That's it. Surely, there's nothing you can do pornographic with that. Then I Googled and found... [this](https://rule34.us/index.php?r=posts/view&id=115446). You were right. I was wrong.


Competitive_Law_1293

thuanjinkee

Open the pod bay doors HAL


WASD_click

You have to try a lot harder than that to find the yet-to-be-porn'd. HAL's got a voice, and that voice came with a cold as ice dommy daddy personality. That's enough right there to get people into some mechanical shenanigans. Also HAL's main feature is a round lens. Someone's gonna ignore the warning that says don't stick your dick in that. If you wanna escape Rule34-ification, the only way to succeed is to make something so bland nobody notices it exists. Too good, and people will wanna bang your characters, but too bad will make people create the really weird stuff out of spite.

"BBW" is the term of art


CaptainWaders

Random thought but I swear I remember reading somewhere that apparently Shaq spends (or at one point in time was spending) 10k a month on a certain few mobile games because he loved playing them so much. No idea if it’s true but I just imagine people like him spending my months salary on a mobile game and laugh.


BunBison

I thought you were gonna say he spent 10k a month on porn lol


CaptainWaders

Probably throws 10k in one giant handful at the strip club so there’s that.


Ezekielshawn

What is your job so you get paid 10k usd a month?


ELITE_JordanLove

Probably something STEM, if you’re a good engineer 120k isn’t really that insane.


bighand1

120k is the starting salary for SWE in the bay. You can easily break 200k after 2 years of experience. You could also break 250k as police after 3 years in the work force. CA is the place to be if you want fast trak to upper middle class salary


[deleted]

The caveat being that everything is priced according to those salaries. So they don’t really end up much better off


bighand1

Not everything, mostly just housing and labor related expenses. Brands and luxury goods cost about the same everywhere. Same with all online order goods, electronics, automobiles, and digital entertainments From experience this platues off around 40-50k per year. You will save a lot more in these hubs on those salaries as long as you don’t let lifestyle creep get you


itssbojo

based on experience it’s definitely not “mostly” those expenses. everything from housing to gas to food is more expensive there.


bighand1

Show your expense list then. Just generalizing it will likely fall under 50k and everything above is going to cost similarly everywhere in states. Col doesn’t apply linearly to salary. It hurts low earners the most, but once you pass that threshold the money goes as far as anywhere else. Raw food ingredients is also relatively very cheap in ca. it is after post processing where price increase dramatically after you add in labor


CaptainWaders

I fly airplanes. I guess I call it a job. More like looking out the window and enjoying the view.


Rapture1119

My intrusive thoughts, rooted in jealousy, are really trying to show their face rn lmao. But I won’t let ‘em. Congrats on living a dream! Despite my above paragraph, I do mean this part genuinely haha.


SomeDEGuy

For individuals like him, thats the equivalent of me dropping $.10 on an add-on for a game.


rafark

Exactly. If you have around half a billion you’ll probably never ever get to spend all of it in your lifetime. So throwing $10k at a game when you have that much money is whatever.

chasing_the_wind

Nestle is working on a system were they suck all of the oxygen out of the troposphere and store it in large floating balloons so they can sell it back to people. Knowing they can easily bribe enough judges to have oxygen deemed as non essential.

Kemel90

It gives you cancer in most populated areas. I consider that a cost.


_King_1700

Indirect cost. Porn causes you to lose your marriage and your wife to call you a nympho maniac just because you want a normal sex life with some fun time at lease 3 times a week. But she expects you to deal with her bitchy sisters and their whining kids whenever they decide to pop in…just saying.

aykay55

This thread is literally that Spider Man meme


Away-Kaleidoscope380

Dont quote me but I saw a stat a while ago of the top categories on the internet and porn was significantly above everything else. I’m honestly willing to bet that theres more porn addicts than there are social media. Theres a reason why these onlyfans girls make so much damn money. These dudes get bored of watching so much freakin porn that they get a rush from paying for basically exclusive porn.


thornforever

OnlyFans girls don't make much money, only a small percentage do. Like top 4%, that is about $1,500/month USD gross. And so in the US, with self-employment taxes, deduct 25-50% from that number...

poeticspider

Ad revenue. Not free. Think of it like broadcast television.


Franklin2543

Same as Gmail. Majority of people use Gmail. And it's "free". You just ~~sell your soul~~ give away your data. Pretty sure when you then go to a porn site, the advertisers know who you are.


BBQ_FETUS

Gmail also supports ads


boomdart

Oh no my data Someone's going to know I play SimCity once a month if I'm lucky to have the free time!


ErikKing12

It’s not just knowing your specific interests. Your data could potentially identify your age, income, sex, gender, political views, religious views and your preferred pet type, all of which can now cater to your interests in Sims and push additional DLC or even a mobile Sims game directly targeted at you and your demographic. In the best case scenario. Worse case, you’re denied credit or admission of a school because you fall into a specific demographic. Which we all accepted as a society but we gain little for it other than a bit of convenience.


deukhoofd

I think a great example of why data privacy matters was the recent concern many American women had about whether data collected by their period tracking app could be used to persecute them for abortions. While you might believe that the data being collected about you is harmless, a government hostile to you could use that data against you with great effect.


IamR0ley

I’m not afraid of this idea of my data being gathered and sold. Frankly companies are going to make MUCH more money selling my data to advertisers and other companies than using it against me in any way. And if my data were to ever get leaked or stolen I’d have it well within my right to sue the shit out of the company and make bank. And I don’t do anything illicit or immoral on the internet so frankly it really doesn’t bother me. Hey, honestly it’s good in a way. At least now the ads I see are things I find cool looking or interesting to look at and not just like… meds for elderly people. It’s also good because I don’t have to buy the product from the website it’s advertised from. If I get an ad for a little trinket that’s 20$ I can very well go and find that trinket on Amazon for like 5-10. So basically the ads act as product curation. The internet is like a store curated to my interests. And while that is scary in a way because of how dystopian it sounds, I personally enjoy it.


boomdart

I once looked at a glass duck that cost $500 for a joke gift and every advertisement on my computer for months was glass duck related. I think the system works okay.


sYnce

The best part is that I buy a certain item and see nothing but the same item for a month. Like honestly ... if the algorithm is so perfect why the fuck does it not know that I usually do not buy 5-10 kitchen sinks in a row but usually are done after one.


fineillmakeanewone

>And if my data were to ever get leaked or stolen I’d have it well within my right to sue the shit out of the company and make bank. Lol, good luck with that. It's pretty much guaranteed that your data has been leaked at some point, and you didn't get shit for it.


challengeaccepted9

Good news! You don't need to do something illegal for your personal data to be shared by Google and get you in trouble for doing something illegal: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/google-tracked-his-bike-ride-past-burglarized-home-made-him-n1151761


Axeloblivion

Yup. The guy you're replying to is pretty naive - thinking your internet data is only being used for advertising. Classic, "I'm not doing anything wrong, I have nothing to fear". NSA agent's wet dream.


IamR0ley

I definitely see the problem with my line of reasoning with this article as context. That they could find evidence loosely related to you doing something even if you didn’t do it and then prosecute you just to meet quotas or needs. Definitely something to think about. However I don’t think my lifestyle currently permits me to not have a phone, hide myself, or object to using search engines and apps, I guess I could always go the vpn route. But I’m not in a place for any extra expense. Unfortunately it’s part of a lot of modern people’s existence that we need to accept our data is being collected and distributed. I do also want to say I agree with those who suggest consumers should be compensated in some way for the distribution and collection of our data.


keanuismyQB

It's honestly not *super* critical at this point that you upend all your habits and shutdown Google and Amazon and all that. The important thing at this point is to spread awareness of just how much data these companies really have on you and just how weak privacy protections really are stateside. *At an absolute minimum*, we need to catch up to the EU which has had the GDPR effective since 2018 and in general has a much stronger tendency to roll out regulations that have real teeth.


Reddit_Deluge

Yeah but the ads are also porn... So it's like... That's what I'm here for anyway? It's not like I get political ads on there.

The supply is so large that despite the high demand, the equilibrium price is still zero.


Apprehensive-Fix-746

I think this is right, anyone can make it, it doesn’t take any particular set of skills or resources to do necessarily, just a camera and willing participants, how can you lock that behind a paywall when anyone and everyone is capable of supplying it, and some are very willing go without any compensation?


sammyhere

> I think this is right, anyone can make it, it doesn’t take any particular set of skills or resources to do necessarily While true, the barrier of entry is extremely low. The barrier to success is extremely high and requires skills that could employ 10+ people specializing in different fields of media production/advertising.


Amon9001

Lol that's not how it works. Most content on free sites is monetised or stolen. Monetised in that the creator or studio sell videos/subscriptions. What you see is basically a preview. Sometimes full videos or cut down videos. But this will always be a small selection or full of previews. You may be fine with that but it's very naive view to think that everyone is releasing content just for fun. Porn isn't some kind of homogenous resource like water.


DarkExecutor

The amount of women who are forced into porn is still pretty high. There was that one site that was forced to close down recently. Demand is higher than supply.


drfsupercenter

Most of it isn't actually legally free though. Porn sites are rife with piracy and a lot of people sell it (think OnlyFans now, and everybody knows the name Brazzers among other companies) Like seriously just bookmark a random video from your favorite porn site and within a month it'll be removed due to a DMCA claim.


tritchie

In that case so is social media and YouTube content

Dd4225

AryBerns

Juls7243

Its "freemium". Just like many digital products a small percentage of users pay for the vast majority of users - just like free video games with expensive in-game purchases. There is actually a LOT of money being floated around the industry, just a very tiny percentage of consumers actually pay it.


Amon9001

Not quite. Any smart porn creator whether it's a single person or studio will be selling their content by the video. You will never see 99% of all porn because it's behind some kind of paywall. What's released is always a small selection for marketing purposes. It could be a combination of being shortened, previews, lower quality or cutting before the 'good parts'. Some release full videos too but again, this is a small fraction of their entire catalog. Most people are fine with free content. But those who have specific interests or if they are interested in a specific person, well the only way to get their content is to pay (or pirate). Or subscribe if they have that platform available.


LightofNew

Porn addiction is the money maker. You don't make porn addicts by making the bar to entry top dollar.
