Sorry about the vague title, I’m drawing a blank on how to condense my question to a title-sized charstring.
OK, if one were to enter a description in a standard search engine of the specific kind of material that gets one’s boat off the rocks and floats it, one would get 447 zillion hits. Click on one and as likely as not, it will not in fact have any of the sought-after material. It may well have some other kind of porn. It may very well contain code that opens up an immense and annoying cascade of windows to other porn sites that also ahve nothing to do with the sought-after material. It may (also or instead) be a page containing naughty code that attempts to install spyware or viruses onto your computer.
Now, to a limited extent, some of that I comprehend, by working backwards from “If I were getting paid by an advertiser by the # of page-hits, what would I do to lure lots of [del]fools[/del] unsuspecting people into making clicks that get me paid?” or “If I were a script kiddie with a new VBscript to deploy, what would I do to lure lots of prey into my trap?”
But it also seems true that if one were to enter a description in a porn-specific search engine operated by some intermingled constellation of porn sites, one still gets a long string of hits that, when explored, do not contain the sought-after material.
And various softwares/protocols of the sort that let people make images and short movies and whatnot available for download by other participants also seem to be chock-full of items that come up in response to search terms and yet have nothing to do with the specific material being sought after.
in the latter two cases, not only is there little to any click-thru advertising money to be made by labeling porn of one sort as porn of some other sort, it would seem to me that making the fishing so unpleasantly unproductive would have the effect of turning away a lot of people who would otherwise be repeat customers. Especially if some of the people who like flavor “XYZ” are so totally not into flavor “ABC” that running across some of it totaly destroys their interest and mood for the time being. (Eww, another ‘sluts vomiting onto diarrhea-coated dicks with bleeding sewing needles jabbed into them’, I hate that stuff! …)
I also don’t understand advertisers or the people with tricky “made-you-click-thru” gambits. WTF? If I only care about money and advertisers will pay me by the click-thru, why not run a small farm of boxes that each run a script that opens each ad then releases and renews the IP address? I ought to be able to generate more hits in an afternoon than the entire porn-viewing population of Kansas would generate in a month. And if I were an advertiser sufficiently canny as to bother to prevent that, would it not also occur to me that someone trying to get through to some erogenous & salacious material isn’t going to respond favorabl to any ad pitch I stick in front of them as a diversion, especially if, in order to actually sell something to oneo of these wankers, I’ve got to entice them into pursuing the product and hitting the “buy” button?
Is the treatment accorded to porn customers and wannabe porn customers (or woudabeen porn customers) tolerated out of contempt for folks who wanna look at the feelthy peektures? Is it some kind of “well they deserve whatever they get for having such interests”? Is it the sense that someone seeking porn and not getting what they were seeking is not going to make a complaint to anyone?
I’m really not a bluenosed prude. If I didn’t end up feeling like I’d had bedpans emptied on my head after each experience, I’d probably consume what I like from the folks who offer it. Might even deliberately support the sites by buying from their advertising vendors. But yecch…
