A porn website has announced plans to pay viewers to watch hardcore sex videos. 

But don’t all rush at once, because you’ll only be paid in using a cryptocurrency called Vice Industry Tokens which is basically worthless. 

Tube8, which attracts 150 million visitors to its smutty sites every month, will launch its crypto payment scheme later this year.

In a statement, Tube8 spokesman Robin Turner said: ‘For as long as I can remember, getting paid to watch porn was always a pipedream; one that was always dreamed about but never fully realized.  Now, however, with the introduction of VIT, we are marking a paradigm shift in how people consume adult entertainment. 




‘As opposed to having to fork over money to consume content, which some sites require, our users will get paid to consume our free content.  The more they interact with our videos, the more money they earn.’ 

Sadly, we don’t think smuthounds will ever get rich by watching porn. 

One Vice Industry Token is currently worth about 1 pence, which is less than a cent. 

It’s unclear how much porn fans will be paid to watch porn, but they would need to earn a lot of tokens to make a living from their grubby habit.
