your views on modern day porn consumption

[KevinM1]

Porn... Free... It's amazing how some people still gladly pay for it. I guess those are the ones paying for the industry.
I'm not knowledgeable on the subject, but I guess that most of the free porn out there is the crap one...

There are, essentially, YouTube sites for porn.  The clips/videos (some are full length) are free on the sites, but they run the gamut from terrible and cheaply made, to actually impressive for what they are.  So, free isn't necessarily indicative of the quality being presented.

I always wonder about the copyright issues regarding those sites, actually.  They tend to allow anyone to upload stuff, so I wonder if these sites ever get hit with DMCA notices like YouTube?  Sorry, the tech nerd part of me went off on a tangent there.

But, yeah, the online porn landscape has changed a ton in the last 5-10 years. Used to be just collections of 10-20 second clips hosted on sketchy sites (oh, the malware) with the intent to advertise movies for sale.  Now, like I said, a lot of sites follow the YouTube model.  Malware is still a big issue with a lot of them, but there's a few that are safe and run a professional ship.  Given how big and technically savvy the biggest site is (went to HTML 5 video instead of Flash before anyone else, made their site compatible with the PS4, etc.) most people probably know what I'm referring to.
