how did "step" porn become so popular when we did such a good job keeping scat and insest porn out of the mainstream for so long in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Incest porn that was actually labeled as such was pretty common about 15 years ago. By which I mean pretend incest, the performers were not really related but were pretending to be.

But there was some case where a woman was posting porn of herself and her son that got really well known. After that, I'm not sure whether because of some new legislation or because of just covering asses, they started calling it step-incest instead of pretending it was real.

In my totally anecdotal experience, incest was getting pretty popular before that time, then it dropped off for a while, and is now picking up steam again. I'm even starting to see slightly more stuff that pretends to be real incest again instead of the stupid step-incest.

It would be nice if it was easier to filter out what you don't like though.

Wasn't 64 bit adoption largely driven by Microsoft deciding they weren't making a 32 bit version of their next Windows at one point? It seems it might take something similar.

If someone makes it so I can stream all the shows and all the movies and such in one convenient place, without having to find them myself, hunt down the right versions, etc, I'm good with paying them for that.

It'd be better if it was from a legal service, but as long as exclusives are allowed that can't happen. If the owners of the content were required to allow anyone who wants to distribute it to do so, at the same cost with no special deals for one distributor over another, then every streaming service could have everything, if they choose. They could then compete on quality of service and which content they choose to have, not on what content they can lock down for themselves alone.

People fighting AI are fighting to keep this broken system. AI has the potential to, over the course of this coming century, eliminate all human labor.

Our objective shouldn't be to fight that, but to ensure that as it happens, humans are taken care of and the benefits of this propagate to us all, because those who are trying to hoard the benefits to themselves are happy to see people fighting to 'limit' the use of AI or to 'save jobs' because it means those people are not fighting them.
