Well, some one had to do it, for science -- of course. A reddit user by the name of beaston02 decided to take things into his own hands by archiving almost 2 million gigabytes of porn to test Amazon's supposed unlimited Cloud Storage. That's about 1.8 petabytes or the equivalent of 293 years of viewing pleasure to make sure the company is keeping to its words. Why he did it? It was to help with his coding by writing scripts in Python used on various camsites and learning SQL databases.
"It is nearly entirely porn," he told me in a Reddit message. "Ever since I got into computers, I found myself learning more, and faster when it was something more interesting. Call me crazy, but women interest me more than most other things on the internet and there is a huge amount of data being created daily, so it was a good fit for the project."
