So a porn company just bought the vidme domain and set up a redirect for all old vidme urls.

As a result, many websites like the Washington Post got porn videos embedded on a couple places.

This is so fucking hilarious. Maybe there's a slim chance they learn the lesson and stop shoving shitty autoplaying videos into their news articles.

Plot twist - that was the actual goal of the acquisition.

The downside to external resources you don't control.

Wow is there a lot of gape on the front page of that site !

Hahahahahah

@johnmelodyme you know for me I see construction people tearing down and rebuilding the same shift over and over wafting building materials all over the fucking place just to pipe money through shit

Tell me that isn’t a goddamn waste you know ? Maybe the air would clear if we ceased all this unnecessary economic activity and let buildings lady or targeted problems that made more sense

Another reason why you shouldn’t use link shorteners. Or at least build (and host) your own if you really really need to.
