Isn't allowing the porn industry to be able to use your hardware crucial for widespread adoption? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the fact that Betamax and HDDVD did this was one of the factors for their loss of market share?

Your not wrong. After all, that's why Google blew up, and Nintendo.

in the early-mid 90s online porn pushed tech to the limit in so many ways. first spammers were serious porn hustlers. from my pov of watching the interwebs develop, porn pushed the multimedia boundaries. and here we are again.

Porn also pushed the advent of secure online monetary transactions.

ha! that reminds me, i had a friend tell me he had to modify their database because they never expected a single transaction to reach that amount. a lot of deep pockets came out of the woodwork back then

There's an excellent video by technology connections in which he mentions this. Turns out, sort of not true. That said, in the modern day, that 100% is gonna be the case, IMHO. Porn flows like wine anymore, and people aren't going to want to adopt some weird pornless tech.

Porn flows like wine

I find that it doesn't necessarily flow freely, but rather is expelled in short bursts
