Never thought we'd be rooting on Big Porn to help save integrity of the internet, but I'm all for it. They brought us HD, 4K, VR, now let's go save the rest.

They brought us HD, 4K, VR

They also brought us video streaming and online payment systems. Both were technologies pioneered by porn sites.

I've always rooted for big porn

And small porn. It's not about the size, it's about what you do with it.

Masturbation. That's what people do with it

And VCRs and modern streaming video players. Pornhub had better seeking, thumbnails, and the "people watched this part" graph before YouTube.

The internet arguably exists as a mass phenomenon because of porn. They have their shit and unethical parts. But, on the internet tech side, almost all the good (and some of the bad) trends appeared on porn first.
