I have heard people try to explain why they log in on porn sites: It saves your favorite videos, it recommends new videos and it makes it possible to see paid content.
All three things are reasons why I don't want to log in. Yeah, like I want a list of my perversions attached to my name.
Free registration is what custom email addressed with fake personal information are for, if you want those features.
Yeah its pretty easy to make up a fake person to make an email with if you ever need to.
Just bookmark the stuff, it's easier than making an account anyway
Just download everything, storage is cheap. No reason not to have a few TB of high resolution porn of exactly what you like.
Wow that's not true at all..at least for most people.. I wish I had the money to buy a 12tb HDD to hoard some media. It took me a year to buy 2 2tb HDDs for my jellyfin server..yes ,I'm poor in a poor country.
In case you haven't been paying attention, RAM and storage prices are on the rise due to the data center rush.
RAM is insane but storage is cheap. You can get recertified drives for a NAS for like $16/TB.
I have a decent memory. 60% of the time, it works every time.
My bookmarks list is too big and searching doesn't help since the names the bookmarks are given are too similar by the automatic process. Also can't thumb up stuff without an account and bookmarking is also a statistic to show popularity of the artists work. Idk what happens on pornhub though.
notices your bookmark kink
What are you doing Step-mark?

It'd be fine by me if gov's weren't so puritanical.
That’s way too much dedication to something that should take me like five minutes. People are crazy
