It was meant for porn en now the biggest part of it is porn. I'd say a success.

As far a I know the porn industry has actualy driven innovation in various web-technologies including streaming, e-commerce, VR...and now probably AI, I guess.

I don't think the biggest part of the internet is porn. There's a LOT of porn and a few really big porn sites, but I don't think they hold a candle to social media and shopping.

I found this link that has porn being #s 14 and 15. It was actually hard to find recent data that included porn at all. I think some counters were too embarrassed to admit porn existed.

Those are just the biggest sites. Also 12 is a porn site. But it doesn't say anything about the size of the total porn on the web. Like, amount of sites and content. Estimates are roughly 80% of the entire internet is porn.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
