Porn kingpin: Lack of exposure will kill Flash

The name “Flash” may have greater sex appeal than “HTML5,” but adult film heavyweight Digital Playground is reportedly embracing the latter as its content-delivery Web technology of choice. That may not bode well for the future of Adobe’s ubiquitous Flash, as the porn industry has a track record for deciding the survivor of bouts between dueling technologies.

In an interview on ConceivablyTech, Digital Playground founder and director Ali Joone criticized Flash for bringing “everything to a crawl” on mobile browsers while draining battery life on devices. HTML5, meanwhile, runs very well on mobile, Joone says: “With HTML5, there is no reason to show our content in Flash.”

Joone’s criticism certainly is not new. You may have read similar complaints from one Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple. However, it’s one thing for such criticism to come from Apple, which has a stake in the future life or death of Flash. Hearing it from an independent organization with a business that relies heavily on streaming video has a lot more oomph.
