A Good Question

The Obscure Store asks: Is there anybody out there who isn't addicted to Internet porn?

He now jokes about the Internet as “the vortex of self-hatred” because of how it can turn mere diversion into a self-destructive act: “I’ll have a ton of papers to grade, but instead I’ll be like, Let’s jerk off to the Internet first . So I go online, but then I despise myself. I look up, and my computer says I’ve been online for 47 minutes and I’m like, What the hell have I been doing?! ”

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Even with all the supposed ease of it all, I believe that porn is still an inefficient market. There's still too many sites to sort through, each with their annoying ads and endless popup windows. Not exactly something you'd want to hand your credit card to. Of course, there's free downloads out there, but then the signal-to-noise drops badly. Some of the free stuff out there could earn money by making people pay to not see it. Or you can try to get into the whole irc-swapping scene, but that's a little bit too hardcore-perverted-geek for the audience described in the article. Too bad we can't have the Apple Porn Emporium or something analogous to the iTunes Music Store. Would be good for the stock price, anyway.
