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.
And VCRs and modern streaming video players. Pornhub had better seeking, thumbnails, and the "people watched this part" graph before YouTube.
XHamster skipping the progress bar in favor of highlight thumbnails really wants to rub our nose into the little sleazy pervs we are.
"I know I'm looking for 'bad dragon andre the mammoth xxl porn videos', ain't no need to draw attention to it"

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.
They also motivated endless generations to work as pizza delivery guys, plumbers or TV technicians
I always feel bad for just a moment when I order a pizza because you know on some level the delivery guy is hoping this delivery will be the one. Sexy lady in a corset or maybe naked, maybe more than one lady! Sigh, just a big straight guy- at least he was polite and tipped well.
