"As pointed out by Twitter user @dox\_gay, hardcore porn is now embedded on the pages of the Huffington Post, New York magazine, The Washington Post, and a host of other websites. This is because a porn site called 5 Star Porn HD bought the domain for Vidme, a brief YouTube competitor founded in 2014 and shuttered in 2017\. Its Twitter account is still up, but the domain lapsed." Cool URIs don't change, etc etc.
