[Warning: This story contains an image of adult actresses in bras and panties — possibly NSFW.] Hundreds of companies and millions of consumers are waiting for the Internet to exploit the advantages of HTML5. A huge, but relatively undiscussed factor, in phasing out Adobe Flash and adopting HTML5 is the adult entertainment industry. Let’s face it, for millions of people the Internet is for porn. At least one adult movie publisher can’t wait for HTML5 to proliferate. In an interview with Conceivably Tech, Digital Playground founder and director Ali Joone said:
HTML 5 is the future. We are waiting for browsers to catch up. As soon as they are ready, we will move everything to HTML 5.
Mobile browsers run HTML 5 very well. Flash brings everything to a crawl and has an impact on battery life. With HTML 5, there is no reason to show our content in Flash.
A lot of people believe that Blu-Ray succeeded over HD-DVD because of gamers and adult videos. Perhaps the war for Internet video will be determined by similar factors. Do you think the adult entertainment industry will spell the end of Adobe Flash? Will adult movie directors and actresses band together to push HTML5? Perhaps I should take a trip to the Valley and do some investigative journalism….
If pr0n starts html5 why wouldnt it catch on. I dont have stats to back up my theory but mobile browsing is gaining more and more popular. We all see it. If html5 is battery and mobile browser friendly it makes sense. Especially with apple not approving any adult theme apps.
Right click then save. Until they can block that, html5 will be secondary.
Investigative journalism FTW!!!
"Perhaps I should take a trip to the Valley and do some investigative journalism…."
If that's the case, can I be your camera man? I'll even bring my own HD video camera.
