Justice Alito is asking if websites like Pornhub have "essays, modern day Gore Vidal, stuff like that" like the old playboy

Faults and all, this would have been a perfect job for Norman Mailer

tough guys dont dance is the zeitgeist of a generation

They’d need interviewers first, right? I see great potential for new journalism jobs! I mean, no need for click bait when there is already a dedicated audience.

Serious “I read it for the articles” energy here. (But I agree.)

Would it be political suicide for AOC to do this interview? Who would do the interview Ron Jeremy? Jenna Jamison?

Honestly I would be so amused if we saw a resurgence of cerebral adult media

Playboy was an ally of the early gay rights movement- To avoid censorship they had their own printing plant and between magazine runs they'd print lit for gay groups for free.

There was a fully clothed Taiwanese calculus tutor who put up his videos on Pornhub and apparently did well for a while.

There’s nothing stopping people from doing “Hot Ones”-type interviews on Pornhub. It’s just that nobody’s done it yet.

I once had to access Playboy at the library, while in high school, to get the interview with Alex Haley, who I was writing about.

Can't wait to read an article titled, "How Pornhub Saved Journalism"

Xvideos would change its name to TransparentVideos

Pornhub interviewing AOC would break the Internet.

Actually a REALLY good idea.

Not even joking, just a damn good idea

Ryan Creamer walked so Jane Fonda could run.

It would actually be very valuable to see a political figure do that amid porn crackdowns. Granted, I think PornHub in particular might not be the platform given its frequent criminal conduct.

There are PH streamers that post educational content.

Zara Dar @zaradarz.bsky.social does STEM vids.

I was wondering why college applications to STEM skyrocketed among young men. The demand wasnt THAT high.

Playboy published a square bound magazine of all of their top interviews couple of years ago. It’s a great read.

i would be *fascinated* to see if AOC would take that interview and then significantly less fascinated to hear how fox handled the fact that it occurred.

monicaanneheart.bsky.social•50 days ago

👏👏👏👏👏

However the brightside is Fox Viewership would absolutely tank.

Even Fox isnt dumb enough to go toe to toe with porn.

Even Jesse Watters and Gutfeld would be like “Yeah ladies, however, what she ACTUALLY said was….”
