The smart phone generation seem to have lower computer literacy than millennials largely due to smart phones hiding away a lot of the workings. In the UK age verification for adult sites came into force yesterday and like everywhere streaming services are getting very enshittified. This is going to lead kids to discovering tor, VPNs, pirating, how to make deep fakes (to fool ai based age verification), and other ways of getting what they want without restrictions.

    Hormones and porn addiction. You think a 16 year old who’s been watching porn for years is going to give it up over night?

      That’s a very specific age that might try to seek it out. But what about a 10 year old who never experienced it and grows up thinking that’s just the way it is?

      You’re talking to someone who would steal the sears catalog (like printed catalog - showed up in an actual physical mailbox) and page through the lingerie ads. You think a hormone driven teenager needs Pornhub?

      Just saying…

        The world has changed. I don’t think the lads mags of old or going to the one corner shop where you knew they weren’t going to bother checking your ID for a top shelf mag is going to cut it with teens who are used to 10 monster cocks gangbang pawg.

          Do they even have porn mags anymore? Seems like you’d have to go to a special collectors shop or something to find them, if they exist.
