I find your reaction fascinating. You find the topic of porn so disturbing that a mere (very dry) discussion of its business side ruins the entire experience of HN for you?

On a side note, you may be naif about hacker culture. On one hand, a lot of hackers consume porn (by virtue of the fact that a large percentage of the general population does). On the other, we tend to be curious about stuff, even stuff that is considered a "poor subject" by conventional social norms. We're not that big on conventional social norms...

Especially given that the article was released in a very renowned german newspaper in the "business and finances" section. There's no actual porn anywhere around.

Hmm, if you want to avoid conventional social norms, then NOT talking about porn on the internet is the way to go, I would say. The world is awash with people talking about porn.

Yeah the Internet is full of porn, but where do you find meta discussion about porn sites? You know business opportunities, history and stuff life that.

Very good point there. That still seems to be a big taboo.

OT: Proud to be German today :-)

Ooo fun, -4 on the Karma for that comment.

My comment was not related to porn so much as to the obvious link-bait and predictable "0_o pron!" pile-on. Smells faintly of Reddit with a soft lingering bouquet reminiscent of DIGG of yore.
