The worst thing about data driven UX - especially with porn - is that it's often a self fulfilling prophecy. Trends that are likely side-effects are considered to be primary factors driving engagement. With porn, it's usually a fetish that is only moderately popular, but broadly unoffensive. Because the average person who isn't specifically interested in the fetish isn't turned off by it either, that fetish gets more…

> No one I've talked to is actually interested in the step-sibling fetish Why would anyone admit it publicly :P

Go look at fan forums for House of the Dragon, discussing the most recent episode. There was an incest scene and the gist of fan reaction was "hnnnng that's hot".

Just a guess but: I suspect a bit that foot thing might be to lower fractions of NSFW parts in an image for otherwise SFW websites(e.g. Twitter), and also to appease older demographic because it is often argued that fetish move downwards as people ages. "Step sibling" is just a successor to "teen" and "schoolgirl" for ban avoidance. There are chances that a successor will appear in 3-5 years and my instinct says it c…

> and also to appease older demographic because it is often argued that fetish move downwards as people ages I can’t tell if you’re saying people have foot fetishes because their fetishes moved “downwards” here. Like does it start with hair?

I don't know if it actually starts with hair, but yes it's often said that area of interest moves from chest to lower torso to legs as one ages. Is this not widely known or told? Not something openly discussed in public but I thought it's something you hear from across a room and later observe in life.

Maximize utility. Maximize search accuracy. Give people what they want rather than string them along for as much time as possible.

So they'll spend next 30 seconds and close your website? Not good for ad profits. Ideally they should spend 10 minutes searching for something, looking at ads, then finally find it and return to this website next day.

Isn't that the short term thinking that's basically killing social media sites. Like yeah we engage for hours on low quality content for now but eventually move on. Instead what would be better is consistent high quality content that keeps a user coming back day after day, even if a session is shorter. It's reliably good. Like Facebook has nothing interesting for a week even if it's find my self trapped in infinite scroll for longer. I'll eventually leave.

It's ok to say incest. And fuck, too. It's a joke. However, if you've seen Dan Harmon's early work, it does make you wonder.

I know it is OK. I prefer not to. And don't need your permission.

Whats wrong with the word incest?

Fud. To quote section 13 of the AGPL license: "Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the work with which it is combined wil…

Sounds like generic copyright feature, when you assign license on per file basis in source form. Such compiled combined work will be licensed under AGPL: 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work…

"but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such."

I'm not sure where you got this, but that phrasing is not part of the AGPL license as posted on https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html

Well, does that allow you to have the rest of your backend GPL licensed and simply not distributed? Nobody has a right to see the code unless they have the executable, and you're not giving anyone the executable, so... Kind of unfortunate if there's a leak though.

A leak of an executable doesn't imply a requirement to provide source anymore than a theft implies a warranty.

I meant a leak of the source code, not the executable. If the source code comes with a license that was intentionally applied by the copyright holder, does it matter that it wasn't intended to be released if the license allows for general use?

My partner both winced at that and said to each other, "Did he just say what I think he said?" So maybe I'm just too old and traditional (despite being queer)?

It's actually patented by a porn site and YouTube pays them for the licensed use of it

Source? I don't see any possible way a thumbnail playing on hover is patentable.

Can’t find a source for my actual claim but here is a similar patent that Google claimed themselves: https://patents.google.com/patent/US9363579B2/en

I read it as Mark Hamill, and thought yeah, there was that thing with his sister...
