Maybe the pornhub ban was all a ploy to hide Cruz's porn interests

Twitter ain't banned though. That's where Cruz looks at porn.
DVD's? Not even Blu-Rays? Not even at my most desperate did I watch 480p videos on Pornhub, c'mon now.

Amateur porn looks like shit sometimes, but 9 times out of 10, it's way better than the overproduced pro BS.
Though PH has done a pretty good job introducing the third "pro/am" quality tier that can be pretty good, I will still often take a 480p amateur video taken with a potato over the shiny, overproduced garbage.
Smartphones have done wonders for amateur production quality. Way less likely to run into out of focus shots with white balance that makes everything yellow.
Be thankful for what you have back in my day if we wanted to see boob we had to rewind a VHS of Robocop
If you wanted to see 3 boobs you had to rewind a copy of Total Recall
The difference between 480p and 720p videos isn't that big. Yeah, 720p looks nice, but 480p doesn't look horrendous.
Source: All the YouTube videos I watch are in 480p, and have been doing so since before 720p stopped being considered HD for some reason. I live in the Third World and my Internet connection is 10 down/1 up.
It actually is that big. It's so big, 480p uses a different encoding. Small text is unreadable in 480p, but only slightly blurry in 720p.
I can't remember the last time I had to read tiny text during a movie.
You mentioned YouTube, which is 99% made of content other than movies.
I can't remember the last time I read tiny text on YouTube either.
Good for you, I guess? I do it all the time.
Friend, things used to be so much worse. And that was just how it was
Do I have to watch the first 23 "Friendly Neighborhood MILF" to understand the plot of "Friendly Neighborhood MILF 24"?
14-20 are set in an alternate universe so they're technically not part of the canon but there are references and callbacks.
But I don't recommend "Friendly Neighbirhood MILF 25" or onwards, as they not only decided there shoud be dimension travel to make everything canon in the series alongside with the "Plumber's Luck", "Ebony Waters", "Hunk Hank", "The Fister", etc series, but also are now garbage, alongside with all the other series by the same company. The Marvelization of the porn industry is a blight we must stop!
Yes. That’ll be $152, please.
Capitalism I can cheer for
That's their 34th highest-rented title. Would you like to reserve a copy?
Rent? What is this? 1998? I'll just buy it on videocassette instead.
Rent?
Yes, rent! Welcome to 202X, where everything is a subscription!
Rent?
Yes, rent! Welcome to 2XXX, where everything is a subscription!
Nah I'm not into that real sadistic shit.
No thanks, I was just asking for a friend. But do you have anything similar?
Nailin' Palin if you're into classic conspiracists.
Ok, I think my friend might be interested
Ingenuity incarnate, generously filling the void.
The way Texas operates, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if some legislator's cousin owned a chain of otherwise failing adult video stores
"I'd like the whole pornhub library in DVD format please"
"Alright, that'll be five billion dollars with the 3 for $19 deal, the receipt will be delivered to your home address, will take years to print and cost another couple of hundreds of million just for the paper, we'll set up infrastructure to transport it free or charge. Do you want to take it all with you now or place an order for 5 truckfuls of DVDs a day for the rest of your life?"
