Porn sites are smart enough to know that dumb people will do dumb shit, and the sites capitalize off of it.

I could never understand why porn sites have a share option, it’s absolutely baffling.

If you’re logged into a social media account and encounter a “share on said social media” button, this is dutifully logged and provides metrics of the types of groups encountering said button.
It’s not for sharing, it’s for metrics about what kind of people view the site/article/top ten list/hardcore porn. Targeted advertisement is cash money.

Metrics are usually tracked using a tracking pixel, which is invisible. They don’t need a visible share button to do that.
