    I wonder if some of it is on the “Retvrn to tradition” spectrum.

    They won’t bring back the unionization, the 90% top tax bracket, or the single income household, but they’re happy to oblige bringing back the 1950s morals and social norms. That doesn’t cost the billionares anything.

    It’s funny how the capital types forgot that porn is a fairly powerful economic innovation engine. Every key internet tech, from chat services to SSL payment processing to video to broadband availability was implicitly turbocharged by its smut potential. Even the current golden calf of AI is trying to climb on the bandwagon and hump it.
