Why do people even go to pornhub... there are so many other options

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because it's simple and it works. When most people want to watch porn they don't spend an hour researching their best option, they just go somewhere they know and watch something there.

So instead of switching to a different website, they spend an hour researching, buying and setting up a VPN in order to still use PornHub?

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What do you mean “setting it up?” You just install it, and click connect (or chose a country with one of their servers) easily.

Unless they do research, they will have to buy one of the advertised VPNs.

Both require time and energy.

search 'free vpn'

install first result

click connect

"research"

Ok buddy

I don’t really give it much thought, I load pornhub, click a recommended video, do my business and then close the private tab (yes I know this doesn’t hide your activity but it does stop pornhub showing as a search suggestion.). I’m not a connoisseur it’s a means to an end.

The French are totally down with revolution and cigarettes; VPN is a focus for nerd shit; inherently not French.

He said PornHub not Proton

naughtymachinima for 3d stuff \

For other real videos, gotta check whether the french fucks blocked others like xnxx, xvideos, redtube. I don't know which ones are also owned by the same parent company

I believe everyone use a VPN to bypass this problem
