Comment on Evolution of words frequencies in porn

In my first 2 weeks of working at an adult company (as a dev yes, it's sad) one of my tasks was to watch/scan 200+ video's and describe them.. It's true, you run out of inspiration fast. Also I could hint you: the "love" in the titles is probably explained by "love(s) to <insert profanity> ". I don't think I ever used hardcore in a title.

I used to work with a guy who once worked as a dev at an adult company. He said it was the most soul-sucking experience of his career, and that the owners knew absolutely nothing about technology and treated their tech staff terribly.

Based on the fact that you had to spend your first two weeks doing data entry, it sounds like his experience wasn't unique.

I didn't quite learn if this was an industry thing. Never met other devs in the industry from other companies. He painted a perfect picture.

Just talking about it makes me unhappy :)
