I was reading an article in my news feed on facebook about the internet being awash with free pr0n. I have to ask, though, since I don’t believe any of it is really “free”, there has to be some reason that stuff is free. And it can’t be good.
It could be something as innocuous as using the free images and videos to sell ads. Pay per click on the site like how bloggers get paid. Or it could be that they’re embedding bad stuff in the hopes that people will download it and they can data mine or do some kind of ransomware or something. I’m not terribly versed in what people are capable of through online methods, but I definitely don’t discount that lots of scummy people worldwide are taking advantage of regular users, often by criminal means.
