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.

Who the hell uses their real name and e-mail to open accounts in sites like PornHub?
EDIT: I enjoy porn and so does my wife. Neither one of us is shy about it, but neither of us would use our real info to open an account. Who the hell wants infinite floods of adult product email spam?
But according to governments around the world, we should use our IDs in order to access this kind of material. And this is exactly why it's a fucking terrible idea.
Yeah I never understood why anyone would create an account. It's not like you need one to watch the videos.
Oh noes my porn viewing history!
Imagine the juicy search history's people might be able to link up with bigots and racists. Let's find JDs account, $5 there's couch fucking videos.
