      To be fair I’d straight up trust the bigger porn companies more than the credit bureaus. They seem to have a much better grasp on technology and somehow manage to seem less sketchy.

        Credit bureaus are just data brokers in disguise, so they’re shady, both in concept and by design.

        Porn is part of the sex trade, so shady mostly by perception.

        I don’t really think it’s possible to do anything more than try to safeguard my personal information. But if forced to choose between those two, I’ll pick a major porn site over a credit bureau every time.

          Exactly! However, there are in fact shady porn companies in practice. The difference is:

          • Some porn companies are shady

          • While all credit bureaus are shady

          At least with the former you can opt into participation. With credit bureaus you’re automatically being tracked by them unless you live in a tent and pay cash for everything.
