What is Digg?90 Comments
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+72The other 99% of webpages link and have advertisements to the 1% of porn.
You know, it really is sad when you are looking up porn and all you want is some young amateurs and all you can find is the same couple of girls posted everywhere. I would kill to be that steve lightspeed guy. - xLiKx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+70what sites did that guy check anyways? Amish internets?
- Tawni, on 10/12/2007, -9/+64The internet is for porn porn porn porn the internet is for porn....
- NoOneButMe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+41But how much internet traffic is for porn?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35Stupid article.
Less than 0.0001% of web pages are Google or YouTube? Then why do we hear about them so much!?
Same dumb concept - AcidBath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31I guess in related news... The average Digger only visits 1% of the internet.
- digitalsin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27So disappointing.
I'm not sure this whole internet thing is gonna work out after all. - thestorey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26Lets get on it guys ... If you have a website flood it with porn!
- lostngone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+221% that makes them a minority! We need legislation to protect them against discrimination.
- AxeSwinger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20First rule of Usenet: Usenet does not exist.
- raz3000, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18A lot of porn traffic goes to specific sites and groups of sites. They get all the traffic they need, so they don't have to spam the internet with countless domains.
However, by "web pages" does the author mean all those countless empty sites that come up when you make errors in the URL bar? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Pages are 1%, traffic to those pages account for 90%. =)
- g30ph, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1699% of the internet is boring.
- dadioflex, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17We need Porn Aid...
Honestly I came to the Internet expecting it to be full of porn. Barely half the pipes contain porn and most of them are angry girls I find no attraction to. We need to devote more of the internet pipes to happy porn girls with big smiles. And the rest. - Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13What are you guys standing around for?! If it's only 1%, we have serious work to do!
The Internets needs more porn! - Er0z, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15How about the hundred, if not thousands of webpages that Digg has. The thousands that sites like GameFAQs, CNET, IMDB, Yahoo, etc have. Porn only makes up 1% of _web pages_ I'll agree with, but how many domains contain sexually explict materials?
- bdawg923, on 11/07/2007, -0/+12Not 1% of the sites I visit. Zing!
- aurrea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10It's only 1% because I have downloaded and stored the other 82% from the previous report on my external hard drive.
- Tarmas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Just add "-myspace" to your Google query.
- dicerandom, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11There are web pages without porn?
- Dinges, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9As I only surf on 1% of the Internet could I have a refund from my Internet provider?
- SpitRespectable, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12"It became famous in part because of one key figure: 83.5 percent of images on Usenet discussion groups were pornographic."
And that is not still true today? The article doesn't say. No Digg.
Comparing Usenet to web pages is like comparing Usenet to web pages. - bawjaws, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8They're obviously looking in the wrong tubes.
- shosterman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10When are these ridiculous interrogative statements going to end? Either you're asking a question or you're making a statement, not both.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8We need more variety of quality porn...
- decades, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5My hard drive is only 1% documents and work. The rest; porn. God bless my hands. I mean the internets... ¬¬
- Madh2orat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7The internet is, and always had been, for porn.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=eWEjvCRPrCo - scottc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"This article is comparing the world wide web to usenet. You can't compare those. They are like 2 totally different things."
That is exactly right. I would expect a traditional journalist to get that mixed up, but not anyone writing for cnet. - tsf5000, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Your mom sure does.
- lycaki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This reminds me of the line from "Scrubs" that always cracks me up.
"I'm fairly sure that if they took all the porn off the Internet, there'd only be one website left, and it would be called Bring Back The Porn"
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Scrubs - Cybersqu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Can someone tell me where i can find this 1% please? I have some free time coming up, and my supply is running low! Thank you! ;-)
- dark_helmet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The number is so low because you are required to login to view 90% of porn.
- donte, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It only makes up 1% of the internet, but 75% of hard drive spaces. That just makes porn-hoarders really really efficient.
- asauterChicago, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Usenet... haha, that's just storage for old college term papers.
Move along folks, move along, nothing to see here, move along. - spindrift, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Long tail much?
"You're the Internet's number one non-porno site!"
"Which makes you ten-trillionth overall." - kday, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4mmm... usenet.... it's almost like a secret society. Gotta love the blazing fast binary downloads. Though the pornographic material on it is quite disappointing.
I mean seriously, who wants to look at alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.transexual.action or alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.older-women?
Back on subject: This article is comparing the world wide web to usenet. You can't compare those. They are like 2 totally different things. 83.5% is probably still an accurate number. - jimmyjim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I say balls to 1% is porn... from http://i.have.no.com/2006-07-29/how-much-porn-does-yahoo-filter/
15% of all yahoo's image bank is porn and 33% of movies on yahoo are porn - DaysInTheDark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3They must not have checked my bookmarks.
- dxbmatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Blocked by Yahoo! SafeSearch != Porn
- cwcheang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I am not sure if we really need any more variety though....
- Falcon19, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The best 1%
- kurrent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2oh great, now we're gonna have porn webmasters wearing "1%er" patches on leather vests.
- elitexero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You mean I've been missing 99% of the internet?
- Markster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2lol i find this ridicules, if its true this means the 1% (porn industry) makes more money then the rest of the world business with 99% that’s not porn...
- waterdrop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I want to know what the percentage was ten years ago and every year up until today.
- trenchMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3...and I still can't find the pix of the girl next door!!
- monkeybutler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21% is porn, but since most of the websites out there nowadays are myspace accounts or kids blogs then most contain personal pictures of scantily clad 14 year olds.
- kr3wthrough, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2while you talk about it, i mgonna look at that 1 percent
- TheDarkLordXenu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Slackers
- levilove, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If this is true, why do all these big dongs and boobs keep popping up all over my screen?!
Help me! -
