    @L4s I’m still - and always have - wondering who clicks on all this shit. No ad makes money without a “conversion” into some sort of sale. I believe it’s all a circlejerking of various add companies scamming each other. At some point this useless well of crap must dry out. And now even the content is complete and utter nonsense… so nobody is going to even look at it. how’s that supposed to hold up

        When the sites are bot built like the ones described here its just a matter of Large Numbers. Create a thousand permutations of porhub and if they all only get a few thousand views a day in total you’ve made some money.
