Other sources suggested it was barely over 1 petabyte. Pornhub is the largest, but only one of several thousand sites serving this kind of video.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">davew<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div>On Sat, May 2, 2020, at 10:06 PM, Marcus Daniels wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style=""><div class="qt-WordSection1"><p class="qt-MsoNormal">Steve writes:<br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"> <br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal">< <span style="color:black;">Hard-line "invisible hand of the market"-eers will insist that if it exists in our economy, that it *must* be of interest/value/use to *many* (or at least some). Invoking the idiom of "follow the money", I agree
that we *can* follow a chain of implied value that leads from the most marginal or absurd to the common and mundane. ></span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">I had a similar thought when I saw <a href="https://vimeo.com/372265771">this</a> video. One can’t simultaneously be sympathetic to this initiative and believe in the invisible hand of the market. I haven’t found good recent documentation, but I’ve heard that on the order of 30% of internet
bandwidth has been used for pornography.</span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"> <br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal">Marcus<br></p></div><div>.-. .- -. -.. --- -- -..-. -.. --- - ... -..-. .- -. -.. -..-. -.. .- ... .... . ...<br></div><div>FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv<br></div><div>Zoom Fridays 9:30a-12p Mtn GMT-6 bit.ly/virtualfriam<br></div><div>unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com<br></div><div>archives: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/<br></div><div>FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ <br></div><div><br></div></blockquote><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div></body></html>
