  Real talk though, Tor for porn would be an awful experience and would slow down the entire Tor network. Tor is slow to begin with, and downloading large files (like videos) only slows things down even more for everyone. It should be a last resort, not the first thing people flock to.

    You use Tor to pop out in south america where you use bitcoin or some other crypto to purchase access to a good vpn.

    Then download TBs of porn through your shiny new vpn subscription rather than bogging down the onion network

    Tor project has many retorts but imo, the easiest way to improve it is just use it, even without donating. If literally everyone used it at all costs, websites would be forced to support traffic from it and blacklisting relays would kill the whole internet, e.g. $$$$. Without these issues, it would probably be much easier to host a relay, or even embed relay hosting in the browser by default. ISPs would be forced to open incoming ports, and firewalls would include it. Then it wouldn’t be slow or limited.

      A VPS is one of the best tools on the internet. Make your own relay, with or without blackjack and/or hookers.

        True but that’s a lot harder than installing a browser

    It was slow when I first tried it, decades ago, but I actually can’t tell any difference in speed these days. I use it for everything now.
