Given that I need a computer to torrent porn, and my computer needs electricity, and electricity costs money, I suppose I do pay for porn.

you browse the website, they get tiny amounts of money because they are paid by bigger porn sites to show previews/links of their stuff. if you click an ad they get money. if you click an affiliate link they get money, even more if you join or bookmark it, etc. sometimes they make it so if you click on an empty space a javascript clicks some obscure ad for you and there's nothing adblock can do about it. you'd be surprised how much money they rake in

Pretty sure woods porn is the top tier porn. I remember some guy in high school who found a box of dvds in the woods. He'd have porn parties at lunch. Called his TV the porn tube to impress girls who would come to smoke weed on their lunch periods.

They originally built their userbases by ripping off paysite content and posting it and ignoring DMCA takedowns, and once they had captured enough of an audience, the porn companies all collectively said "wow, that's a lot of traffic" and started giving them videos for free.
