in the early-mid 90s online porn pushed tech to the limit in so many ways. first spammers were serious porn hustlers. from my pov of watching the interwebs develop, porn pushed the multimedia boundaries. and here we are again.

Porn also pushed the advent of secure online monetary transactions.

ha! that reminds me, i had a friend tell me he had to modify their database because they never expected a single transaction to reach that amount. a lot of deep pockets came out of the woodwork back then
