This has a little of the flavor of "Valley Wag" -- subtly
slamming innovators for failing to fix the
internet/economy/government. Scribd allows people to share
content and, lo and behold, people use it to share porn -- just
like Facebook, youTube, Flickr...
The author can't really make up their mind as to where Scribd is
in error: are they using porn to drive up traffic, or do they
fail to have right the disclaimer? Going so far as to ask
whether it is "acceptable for a VC backed company to drive
growth via porn?", the author back pedals and asks for an "Are
you OK with this?" dialogue, though the site already has it.
(Maybe that changed recently?)
