You have a darker view of human nature than most.

I mean, unmoderated, anonymous contents might have more penis vids than you want, but it doesn't mean that you have to watch them; a user sponsored moderation / rating would ensure that.

If that wasn't possible, who would use the app except for penis enthusiasts?

Nah I’ve just been hanging around the internet a lot longer than most people.

I can’t take credit for the concept of infinite penises though, that honor goes to my friend Pud:

I think that would be good, as long as nobody is forced to use it who does not want to use it. Other things also help such as categorization, meta-moderation, etc, but all such things should be ignorable by users who do not want it.

Well, that's what inspired Evan Spiegel to start Snapchat.

Vine was mostly penis videos at the beginning. I think its original growth was due to the random clips of nudity until Twitter decided they needed to clean it up.
