yeah this is really annoying for most people and even for me ...i feel sad for people who do not realize this and keep watching porn content ...i think its not only porn websites...but many other kind websites also adapting this dirty trick

Recently some content sites have built their mining capacity so that they no longer need to share their profit with the mining sites.

[Moses Short]

They also say coinhive.com is the largest of the more than ten sites offering technical capacity for mining. It has 57% of the share in attacks. Coinhive recently infected BrowseAloud extension used for converting web text to audio. This aids the visually-impaired people. This crypto mining attack involved many government websites in both U.K. and Australia.

Seems like this is all the rage these days. I personally don't think it's that big of a deal because it basically functions like ads in that they monetize traffic; it's just that they're much more intrusive and it could be said that they're stealing your resources. They seem relatively safe otherwise (from the small time of research I put in at least, correct me if I'm wrong), unlike ads which could contain malicious code. I guess it could work well in porn because you're probably just watching a video anyway.

Whatever your opinion is on it, you could simply install NoScript on Firefox and ScriptSafe on Chrome to eliminate their threat entirely, along with malicious scripts and ads.

I also remembered reading an article about deepfakes and cryptocurrency. Wherein the deepfakes porn sites are disguised as only porn sites while in reality it is a bitcoin mining site. Because deepfakes porn became popular, many people are visiting its newly created sites. And one disguised mining site is not suspicious. And I think that its a clever way to have a mining site. Porn site + Bitcoin mining site = Profit.

There are even projects now that earns you token by just watching porn. This may contribute to the issue that is being raised here.

How do we know this website of yours you keep spamming the forum with is not also using the same garbage?

Also, 629 out of the top 300,000 websites have this code.

Wow, imagine this, 0.2% , the horror!!!
And the best example they've got was str*xx.tv which ranks  26,072.

I'm willing to bet that after 1000 hours of watching porn you would not earn enough for a condom....

Good development for bitcoin community with this idea. As more people expecially males are mostly watching porn , this power can be used to utilieze the mining power of bitcoins mining.

[European Central Bank]

there are people who visit porn sites without ad blocking and using stuff like noscript? wow.

is it ok to say that i don't really have a problem with this? it seems like a pretty fair exchange to me. i've no idea how they do it but it wouldn't bother me unless i was rendering something.

it's crazy how toxic advertising has become. we get the content providers trying to guilt trip us into stopping blocking but hit you with the most offensive, blaring, invasive crap. the last time i went on the internet without blocking i felt like my mind was melting.
