Excellent! Thanks @kulpims, @oritteropo, and @youdiejoe. You are all setup with your new VideoSift email addresses. Thanks for participating!

Please note that G+ "requires" that you use your (or a) real name, so don't be surprised if they threaten to disable your account if you're using an obviously fake name.

And remember that if you ever do change your name at G+ you'll need to change it on VS as well for this authorship thing to work.

Great stuff, @youdiejoe.

Surprising how polarizing this topic is. It's like the Harlem Shake of yesteryear.

@youdiejoe A question though. It seems (based on the interwebs), that a large amount of porn these is of the sort in this video. (Actually, the Loius Theroux doco on porn leaned to the side of it's all a bit depressing too)

Do you have any sort of handle on how much is well run vs non-professionally? It'd be absolutely awesome to be able to run out the horrible operators, but the degrading form of porn seems to be horrendously prevalent these days.

You're abusing the term to such platitudes as saying "you're biased towards the english language" Oh please, spare me the bullshit. We're talking about a biased position to the point where it loses credibility. Using english in favor of sanskrit has no detectable bearing on the points being made.

You might as well say some shit like "you were biased to write your response as apposed to sending it with smoke signals - clearly biased". Pfft, come back when you want to have a discussion about something in the real world.

The video here is so tainted by her very bad experiences, that she's making the assumption that the whole industry is exactly like her own experiences, and as @youdiejoe explained very nicely above, they're not. So what are we to believe of this video? My own evaluation is that while she had a terrible experience, this does not warrant the judgment of the industry, just of the people who abused her. I'll even go so far as to agree that the porn industry is worse than many other industries as far as abuse goes, but other industries also have abuse in many different ways. Remember ea_spouse and the other similar one for the LA Noire developers.

Anyways, coming back to bias - there's always bias, but it's all about the degree of bias. Which is most biased: Fox news or BBC? Both are biased towards certain things, but something as trivial as the language used is a very small factor.

Thanks YouDieJoe for shedding some light on the situation. Glad someone was able to put some real input into the thread, rather than from their armchair and their ego.

What he said (@youdiejoe). He just saved me the time and effort of having to write all that out.
