      Because it’s simple and it works. When most people want to watch porn they don’t spend an hour researching their best option, they just go somewhere they know and watch something there.

        So instead of switching to a different website, they spend an hour researching, buying and setting up a VPN in order to still use PornHub?

          What do you mean “setting it up?” You just install it, and click connect (or chose a country with one of their servers) easily.

            Unless they do research, they will have to buy one of the advertised VPNs.

            Both require time and energy.

      I don’t really give it much thought, I load pornhub, click a recommended video, do my business and then close the private tab (yes I know this doesn’t hide your activity but it does stop pornhub showing as a search suggestion.). I’m not a connoisseur it’s a means to an end.

        I put what I’m looking for into DDG and then click the first result. 30% of the time it’s PH, and 30% of the time it’s Xvideos.

      The French are totally down with revolution and cigarettes; VPN is a focus for nerd shit; inherently not French.
