Porn was the use-case behind the invention of internet payments.

Why are so many people (outwardly) against porn when it's one of the biggest digital markets in the world?



Weird (mostly American) puritanism.


Considering how hostile the whole financial industry is to that market segment I kinda seriously doubt that. eBay and PayPal propped each other up, Amazon normalized online shopping. It’s a little odd to me that you’re so set on putting porn at the center of everything in some strange Disney/marvel retconning attempt.

Link? My understanding was that it was online banking and ecommerce. Also, I don't know how you got any negative sentiment about porn from my post lol
