Another great article from 404 Media highlighting the power that the tech giants have amassed over how how we use the internet.

This brings me, I think, to the elephant in the room, which is the fact that Google has its hands on quite literally every aspect of this entire saga as a vertically integrated adtech giant.

This extreme power over the adtech and online advertising ecosystem is one of the subjects of an FTC antitrust suit against Google.

Funny!

Boom chicka wow wow......Hey baby. Let me show you how to torque your nuts deep down inside my motor...Guitar solo...rocket launch video...

It would be interesting if PornHub started paying people for non-porn content. Because of their high traffic I assume they might be able to compete with YT...someday. It would be fun for them to try.

I just don't see it happening. People have been suggesting they create "VideoHub"/"MediaHub" for years, as they're the rare company established in free-access video and also able to compete on the basis of having a (presumably) profitable enough service to keep them afloat through any rough patch. Though I'll certainly agree, it would be incredibly interesting.

I’m sure plumbing tutorial videos would thrive there. Maybe nature documentaries about great tits would work too. If you have a farm, you could also make videos of your ass and pussy. Some people have a huge cock, so filming that would obviously be a good idea.
