This made me really aggravated at first.
"Why are people spending efforts on Accessibility for porn, when that effort could be put toward useful books, movies, and TV shows?"
But, then I read the article, and realized that PornHub is doing just what I've come to expect... Everybody doing their own little part to help the community with accessibility.
Since they are in the porn community, they are helping where they have influence. Makes perfect sense to me. haha

Everyone doing their part where they can. I like that. This world of ours, I like it. I know there is always going to be horrible shit that happens, but on the whole I love this place called life. The say the devil is in the details.. but I think that is only half right, because so is the devine.

I am glad they did it professionally and not just got a bunch of random people to do it. More people should do their own parts to make content accessible, honestly

That's really funny. I did an AMA a while back and one of the questions i repeatedly got was "How do blind people watch porn?" Now I can just send them this link and go wash my hands.

I looked at some of the videos and the description is well done. There are a few parts where the writing does not flow with the tone of the scene but it is professionally narrated

Awesome.
I think most guys are very ... visually wired for what comes especially to porn. So they like to look at stuff. So itʻs perfect to have professionally described videos.
Maybe sighted guys could also use that to improve their imagination. Put a video on, screencurtain on, nice headphones on... And enjoy.

I also believe described films and TV shows can be like a new audiobook. We even listen to movies in the car now

I'm still trying to convince my husband to listen to movies while he drives. :)

what about a netflix series to start him out with? Just suggesting! :P:
Unuhi 1 points 7y ago
When we watch netflix together, he doesnt like the descriptions so AD is off.
When i watch netflox alone i keep AD on.
Amd when he watches alone, subtitles/closed captions.
