Sex, porn and/or getting laid is the first emergent viral use case for every planetary-successful b2c tech platform. I made a small fortune on Facebook’s IPO and liquidated immediately after realizing Zuck was betting the farm on skipping this inevitable step and was attempting to launch a nipple-free advertiser-optimized virtual reality.

When did Windows sell porn in the Windows store? When did Apple sell porn in the app store? When did Google sell porn in the Play store?

They are shipping perfectly capable 2D porn viewers (aka web browsers) with their OSes.

That can't be his logic because Zuck has shipped a capable 2D viewer with the OS since the beginning.

The internet is still in its 'wild west' stage. When things settle down, the obscene stuff will be gone, and the useful sites will remain.

Which is the useful one, facebook or pornhub?

Better choices as of now could be Facebook or Twitter, potentially Twitter or Mastodon in 5 years

I agree, when Facebook will be gone we will be much better.

We said that in the 90’s as well. Funny how people keep saying that year after year.

Good luck with that. Porn still dominates charts and sex still sells. You’re not changing either one because they’re both what humans want.

Humanity is still in its "wild west" stage by that definition.

Look, this is the attitude that destroys/destroyed the classic internet.
