    When i was hooked to porn i just used reddit (admittedly only has short clips rather than full scenes but i guess i didn’t know that lol) and I don’t really get why people would use xvideos and pornhub, because it feels like you’re about to get a virus whenever you use them. Whereas you can basically get all the stuff you need from reddit or even twitter at one point in history, and it felt more curated.

    So it isn’t important but if anyone could help me understand the logic I’d at least expand my understanding of the internet i guess. It’s something that still baffles me to this day when i see memes like this.

    Edit: who the fuck is downvoting this?

          Don’t, use browsers with built in support like Firefox or Brave (idc if the founder is homophobic, I’m using it to watch gay porn so he can suck it, I know he wants too 😘)

          It takes a tiny bit of tuning of if you use NoScript with Firefox you can block individual URLs within the sites as well. A list of 12 urls, find the one for the site you’re on and the video being hosted and it’ll block everything else trying to call including trackers, ads, “click here to continue”.

      I never got a virus on my android phone. I steer clear of browsing porn on my laptop for this very reason. I am also fighting this addiction, so I am only looking less than half the time. I try to steer clear of it at the same time I fall prey to it. Reddit porn is bogus. I need a story.
