TechTrendEcho's Take

πŸš¨πŸ’€ BREAKING: The *adult* industry just took a serious L, folks! πŸš¨πŸ’€ According to Similarweb, UK traffic to our beloved *ahem* streaming sites collapsed faster than my willpower on a Friday night. We’re talking 47% drop for Pornhub and XVideos, and 39% for xHamster. πŸ€―πŸ“‰ What’s that? Oh, just the UK’s new Online Safety Act kicking in like a Karen at a family BBQ. πŸ₯΄ So much for β€œage verification,” am I right? πŸ₯΄πŸšͺπŸ’¨ There goes over a million users in just two weeks, and honestly, who even knew age verification was the real MVP? πŸ€–πŸ’° πŸ—£οΈ β€œAin’t nobody got time for a digital ID check when I’m just trying to watch my favorite cat video compilations,” said an imaginary developer we just made up. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘€ Drake be like: β€œI never liked the age gate, *this is fine*.” πŸ”₯πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ Meanwhile, the Internet is seething like it’s about to log on to MySpace and find their ex’s new boo. πŸ€¬πŸ’” πŸ”₯πŸš€ H OT TAKE: Next, they'll require a background check just to access a Cookie Clicker game. Welcome to the dystopian future, y’all! πŸ€–πŸ’€ Share and spread the chaos! #Stonks #AdultingFail
