I still can't grasp why people are so disappointed with this partnership. The porn industry is a key indicator if new tech is making it to the mainstream. I recommend doing this history check: Look up the battle between Betamax and VHC videorecorders. Betamax was technically advanced but VHC had better partners in the porn industry and became established as a standard. Shortly after, you could find a VHS in almost every household why Betamax vanished from the earth. Imagine Verge becomming the standard to consume online content in this industry. There would probably be higher transactions volumes as Bitcoin today.
