Is there a conspiracy to keep free porn widely available?

[master.on]

Are you kidding? All those banners around the videos are ads. They charge for ads, and the more people who visit the site, the more they can charge. So they release their own videos to drive up traffic, and make money from the ads on the tube and the subscribers to their .com

Yes but the advertisers are shady as fuck
they are usually about porn cartoons or webcams. Who needs that?
Plenty of free cartoon and webcam porn around, so who needs to pay for that?

About the only profitable advertisers are online gambling sites.

I rarely watch porn so maybe that's why my views are biased
but most people don't pay a penny to watch porn online, do they?

It's not about that. The advertisers pay for eyes. Just like on here. There are banners everywhere, they pay to be here, even though a majority of us will never click and haven't paid to be here. They just want eyes on so when people think of a product, their name will be in your head.

Maybe @Millard could give a better explanation about banners and advertisers, but these tube sites are definitely making money. They don't deliver people porn because they have Robin Hood complex

Do you actually realize how insanely expensive the servers are?
An IT engineer told me that porn demands much better (and expensive) computer servers than even Youtube does.

So yes, I do believe that there's something shady in there.
I believe that while they do make some money, they don't make enough money. So someone must be subsidizing them.
Who does and what their reasons are I don't know.
And no, I'm not prone to believing in conspiracy theories, but the numbers just don't add up.

Do porn tubes actually make any profit?
They don't seem to sell shares in any stock exchange so investors can't wait many years to profit from their investment.

Are they subsidized by any mafia, secret society or undercover government?





Most mass shootings seem to be made by incels, involuntary celibates, losers who can't get laid and fap all day to internet porn
which puts us back on topic:
Do porn tubes actually make any profit at all?

Ad revenue, premium memberships, cam-site affiliates, selling the info of free / paid members.

Believe some have tipping systems now as well, I'm sure they take a cut.

In short: Yes, they make a lot of money.

Awesome, has it come out that he was plain clothes security, an off duty or retired LEO or MP yet?

Because a LOT of the good guy with guns that the media like to hold up are. Kinda kills the Joe Average narrative they like to push.

As it directly relates to my earlier point, what weapon did said GGWAG use in response to the shooter?

I'm betting a pistol, not a big ol' fucking rifle.

It was just average Joe's if I'm not mistaken. Not le. And yes I'm sure it was a pistol but in the end what is the difference? Dead is dead?
And it was actually two members of the congregation that shot the asshole. If I read it correctly. Probably 5 or 6.

Contextually is makes a difference because you quoted a portion of my post directly relating to JA needing a tactical rifle to defend his home from a burglar.

Then you held up a case of CC civilians putting down an active shooter, conflating one scenario with the other.

I'm not arguing that completely untrained civilians can't pull a weapon and stop something. I'm saying that's typically not been the case.

And no, just squeezing rounds off at the range and getting a permit doesn't constitute anything resembling training for such situations.

In the portion of the post quoted, I was essentially implying that if a high powered / high capacity rifle is needed to put down a burglar, you're probably not proficient enough to be handling that weapon.

Nevermind the fact that a large weapon is fairly impractical in the close quarters you'd find in most homes.

Two totally separate points and sets of circumstances.

 

[LeoTC]

By the way, further reports confirm that it was two members of the church's paid security.

So...just saying.

Church gunman stopped by armed church security; 2 dead, 1 hurt at church near Fort Worth, Texas

Do you own a weapon? Do you know how to use a rifle,pistol or handgun?

You believe everything the news tells you? Lol. Church security. Lol. That is Texas taking care of its own. Meanwhile there is a shooting suspect on the loose in California. You can twist it all you want but such different endings to the same tragedies.

You have shown your ignorance with this statement.

I've owned several in the past.

As I've grown older, I've recognized that my own sometimes short fuse and impulsivity mean that I probably shouldn't. I still hit the range with many of the same friends and use most of the very same weapons that used to belong to me.

But yes, I come from a family with strong military and LE background. I've been around guns my entire life.

Would you like the church's public listing so you can call and independently confirm?

The 2A zealots tried to spin the same narrative with the Colorado church shooting a while back. Paid security, already on alert, after a previous shooting in the area.

Not really, life isnt call of duty.

You're not booting a door and clearing a building. You're likely fumbling with a safe / trigger locks, and magazines to ready the weapon, assuming you're even in a position to retrieve it, and approaching someone that's likely aware that you're there.

That rifle is also a hell of a lot easier to take away.

A pistol or standard revolver makes way more sense with regard to home defense.

And I'm sorry, but if you're not securing your weapons see point 1 about being unfit to own / use.

You really should stick to talking about street drugs and trannies. I'm done.

Thought you posted how you grew up living in other people's garages and stealing shit to survive? Can't have it both ways.

Because poor kids have no family.

My grandfather was aboard the Astore when it was sunk in the SOJ, my uncle did multiple tours in Vietnam before becoming a standard setter for the local PD. He was also the first crime scene photographer in the state, went into the federal system after retiring.

Two cousins were Navy, one Army, my closest was Airborn and why I wanted to enlist.

My record disqualified for the posts I was interested in, as well as my preferred branch.

But yeah, my immediate family? We were poor as fuck and I was NOT the kid that handled shit quietly.

My extended family? I've got another uncle in OH that owns an 8 plane hanger, multiple large boats, and basically travels year round anymore.

Another cousin married into one of the largest farming / ranching families in the tri-state area. They gave me my break in the trucking industry as they haul their own livestock / beef / etc.

My great grandparents were farmers and restaurateurs.

Anything else you'd like filled in on?

You were done several posts back.

Basically when the entirety of your argument amounted to, 'fake news.' You've basically just been talking shit since, I assume for lack of valid counterpoints.

Because I'm assuming you're not going to argue that a responsible gun owner doesn't secure his weapons. Seriously, you're too intelligent for that.

But hey, you're also arguing gun ownership with a guy that admittedly has no issue with it as well. So... -\('_')/-

Either way, thanks for killing some time. Been dead as hell tonight.

Lol. Secure your weapons. Bla bla bla. Cable locks. Bla bla bla. You are a criminals dream and a disgrace tou your family with your "record". I will live full while you die empty.

 

[movingiron88]

@LeoTC to be clear what is your position on guns? The size of them? The caliber? Capacity? Color? Looking scary? *Joking kinda

You are ok with handguns though correct? Atleast your posts point that way.

Also are you only concerned with mass shootings rather then all shootings?

You seem educated on the subject, what are the number trends on all shootings?

Not debating at this point, I would genuinely like to hear your position.
