Not to disagree with your main point - everyone deserves to be paid - but porn scales so well that we might already have enough free amateur production for everyone. It just doesn’t get to the top of SEO-optimized searches.

Always real answer: they invested in BAT.

No such thing. Live out loud, grow a big beard if you want.

That’s very hard to do in practice when you make a thousand little choices a day - the time spent researching everything would be astronomical.

The solutions we offer should take rational ignorance into account; shaming victims won’t make it go away. Where do your food and clothes come from?

Half the white people: Yee haw, I’m gonna shoot some minorities! I’m in a militia!

Other half of white people: Don’t worry, the police will protect you. No militias gangs allowed!

If it really ramps up, we could share block lists too, like with ad blockers. So if a friend (or nth-degree friend) blocks someone, then you would block them automatically.
