>Not joking. Checkout VR porn. Then it hits you. Holy shit this is the future of media and entertainment. Something about perspective in VR gives a human touch of interactivity not possible with other media forms.

One of the most pathetic things I've ever heard. Gushing about immersive cuckoldry.

Media technology has seen past innovation on by the porn industry. A major VR selling point is entertainment. I say this less as gushing about omg porn. But more that immersion VR video at a human to human perspective changes video entirely. It feels more human. Feels like you aren’t looking at a celeb but a real human being. This will change the way we do TV, Social Media, and a Movies.

People keep parroting this "porn pushes tech" line, but what important algorithm or tech advancements have come out of mindgeek the past twenty years?

The oft repeated "VHS won because Beta didn't have porn" is flat out wrong, you could rent porn on Beta back in the day.

Kink-shaming on HN. Wow.

Man, I miss when the web was dominated by counter-cultural weirdos.

Isn't VR porn just a stereoscopic look around? Google cardboard gets you 90% of that experience.

VR porn is a nice gimmick for a while, but most people aren't going to get $3500 invested in Porn.

If VR porn was that important to people, Google Cardboard would be a household name. Plenty of people have tried VR porn, and most go back to the same stuff they usually do for regular sessions.
