Seems like a pretty easy scam to pull off, I wonder how much money the people doing it make.

    I used to run one of those link sites. It’s extremely difficult to monitize it unless you deal with really sketchy sponsors. Can’t have google ads on a pron site. I had a few afffiliates but they gave credits that I never got to a payout threshold. It ended up being not worth it and we shut it down.

    Do you think we can make a bunch of websites like these that just link to one another without ever leading to a video?

    Are those still a thing?

    I remember in the 00’s they were everywhere, but maybe I just leveled up in my porn consumption where I don’t search Google for my porn.

    Or really watch porn anymore. It’s all just reminders of how much I lost out on the previous 16 years.

    Lmao, you guys thinkt those are making money?Those are portal sites. They form a classifier for what porn you like and take you to a matching payed offering.They series of sites you clock through show which porn you like and are the precursor to click tracking on the start page where you select a category before a video.

    The darker part if I remember correctly was that kiddie porn sites used to filter entry by those referrers. So police would not find them, but people that look for it would find that 25 layers down in one of those classifiers.
