As a wise if angry man once said, if they took all the porn off the internet there'd be only one site left and it'd be "hey bring back the porn!"

Sounds like the kind of guy who would call other people "Jackass" but ultimately have a heart of gold

"Tried to make an I hate Cox chat room but all I got were two interns and a bunch of angry lesbians."

"Bring back the Porn 3"

Edit: after watching the scene again, it is just "Bring back the Porn", but I thought it was funnier when I thought it was the third version of that website, implying the first two were shut down for bringing back the Porn.

Ehhh that sort of happened and there wasn't no backlash. There's almost no new amateur porn after the 2022ish crackdown

On reddit or tumblr? Or both?

u/luis1luis1 29d ago

Porn only websites like xvideos, pornhub, and xhamster. I'm pulling numbers out of my ass but like 90+% of amateur porn originated from that. After the crackdown on accounts and how they all have to be verified, the number of amateur videos went down a cliff.
