This is insane. I wonder what other relatively large internet service will go down.

Apparently PornHub already lost 80% of their traffic due to age verification laws. I'll add the source when I'll get back to it.

Reading the article would make me believe it's 80% of traffic from Louisiana and not overall. So they will be fine lol.

I feel like that can't be true, I imagine a huge amount of pornhubs users are international

So what's the open-source alternative for gfycat? We got a trend started here let's keep it going!

Aw damnit, time to downloading whole gifs

[–] OreganoChampion@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That means I have to go on gfycat and start saving all the funny Planetside GIFs recorded over the years. Sad times :(
