Banks, credit card records, etc. are being hacked massively, leading to billions of dollars in losses each year.
But the losses would be far greater if HTTPS was hacked.
However, there are all kinds of tricks hackers can use, to get around many computer safeguards.
Which is one reason for hacking: to make a lot of illegal money.

So, even though you are in Canada, your complete internet history (whatever sites you visited, how much time you spend at these sites, is recorded in US, and Chinese, and Russian, and who knows who else's databases.
But if a site is secure (mainly banks and other financial institutions, but also commercial sites like Amazon, and, hopefully, any site you give your credit card data or other sensitive data to.
And porn sites (many porn pay sites and even PU and TBP) are switching to secure HTTPS.
That means, your ISP keeps a record of your visit to each site, but not the member pages you have visited. The member pages are hidden by the HTTPS.
So, the US government knows you visited, let's say, Porn Fidelity, but does not have a specific record of which pages at the site you visited, or how long you spent at each page, or how much you downloaded from the site. Those details are hidden by the HTTPS.
As far as my Discover Card being declined: Porn Fidelity says it accepts the Discover Card for payment.
Usually, when a credit card is declined, it's because the Credit Card company declined the transaction. Most credit cards use an algorithm (a computer program) to make the decision to decline a possible transaction. The main reason is suspected fraud.
It wasn't the Porn Fidelity site, or their billing agent, that declined your transactions: it was, almost certainly, the credit card companies themselves.
You could, in some instances, have your credit card account blocked by the credit card company.
How the credit card company deals with possible fraud transactions varies by the specific company.
Sometimes, when your credit card is declined, you can call the credit card company, and tell them that the specific transaction is valid, and you want the payment to go through.
But like I said, the decline is automatic, done by computers, mainly because the credit card company suspects any porn transaction could be fraudulent (some unauthorized user hacked your account numbers).
No big thing.
The HTTPS means your ISP does not have access to the actual pages you visit, when a site uses HTTPS. They have a record of the site, but not the actual pages.
That is the value of HTTPS.
If your ISP had a record of the actual pages you visit hidden by the HTTPS, the world would be far more dangerous.
That would mean that hackers, who already make billions in theft from computers, would have easy access to your financial records, and there would be even more financial fraud than there already is.
Bank records, credit card records, etc. would all be exposed to hacking, if the HTTPS was not secure.

When I hit the PU hot link for "Browse Users", even though we both have the same number of points, your name is listed first.
I am considering sending a private email to Freddie, to complain about the listing order: my name comes before yours in the alphabet, so I should be listed first, and since you are from Canada, which Trump (our dearly beloved President) has revealed to be an enemy of the United States, that is a double reason why I, a US citizen, should be ahead of you in any fair-minded listing.
(Just kidding. Although I've never been to Canada, I might want to visit, one day.)
HTTPS pages are secure. That means your ISP, which keeps a record of your internet usage, only has a record of the site you visit, and the times you visit. Which information is turned over to the US spy agencies (mainly NSA, I believe). Read a little bit about Edward Snowden, who disclosed that NSA spies (keep massive records) on almost all US citizens (and other people throughout the world).
That includes all public and, I assume, many private, records.
US spy agencies (and Russia, China, and other countries) keep these records in massive databases.
There are high-level programs that use these databases to search for whatever.
It took a while but I kept going back and forth between the select your membership page to the payment page for a bout 15-20 minutes until it finally went to epoch/paypal. I refuse to use rocketpay or independant processors, been burned before so am really paranoid when it comes to payment forms.

Maybe I shouldn't say this, but I regularly write reviews of sites I've reviewed before.
As long as I try to give a fresh take or add something new, there's no rule against submitting a re-review of a site.
You have to wait about 1 year before you can submit a re-review.
(The PU site states you have to wait 6 months before submitting a re-review, but the present software system makes you wait about 1 year before accepting a re-review.)
So if you want to submit re-reviews, to add some new ideas or whatever, there's no rule holding you back.
And I agree that exotics4me will be keeping the #1 position for a long time.
As for your dry spell, I don't know if it's from lack of current interest in porn, or if you can't find any sites worth joining.
If you can get a special discount price, I recommend the Adult Time network, LetsDoeIt, or Teen Fidelity (with Porn Fidelity and Kelly Madison thrown in) for your consideration. Wait for a holiday special on them, and any one of the three is worth joining.
I've seen Adult Time discounted to about $9.95 for the first month, and an annual membership discounted to under $100. So don't accept higher prices, wait for holiday specials for the best deals.
But even when you join a great site or network, you still have to find the content that interests you. Except all 3 sites I recommended have some really great hardcore videos. And a lot of stuff that is not so great.

Now you did it.
The last time I checked, you were miles ahead of me on the Users hit list.
But now there's a new guy in town, and I'm gunning for the #2 slot.
Watch out, because I'm smoking hot.
The Teen Fidelity site has some really hot vids.
At $9.95 for 30 days, it's a bargain.

Normally, I wouldn't join a site or network for $50. There's another that I keep almost joining, Killer Gram, it's a British site, they keep going up on their price. I think it was $39 last time I checked and Abby Winters is the other, also nearing $40 a month but because I was going to join ATK Exotics and ATK Petites, I didn't see the one-time join of the network as too much for one month. I definitely feel different about that now. I hope we're not heading towards high quality, unique sites jacking their prices up. Just checked and Killer Gram is down to $24.99 a month. I'm glad I mentioned that or I would have forgotten to check it.
I find the hair part unusual. I think everyone knows my favorite model is Eve Angel. She was never fully shaven and always had some hair.
I'm glad to hear everything worked out. I have also notified Blacked of this situation to ensure there isn't a possible glitch or billing error on their end.
Thank you very much, it pleases me to be a part a very warm and friendly community. I absolutely agree with deep dives. I may not be able to explore every nook and cranny, but us "amateurs" will definitely be able to find stuff TBP may miss or not address what could potentially be vital information that can make or break subscriptions (download limits in your case certainly is one if it's really disruptive). I also believe we won't hold back if we dislike something either, which is something TBP understandably can't do to the same extent as us. I'll try to write more, once again thanks!
Yeah, I just looked up Mindgeeks sites, and realized that I'm not the biggest fan of how these particular sites are run. These guys need to look at how others are doing it, Like Greg Lansky's network of sites, or KellyMadison's network of sites, and there are a few others that I really like, but these mindgeek sites I've stayed away from for a while now.

I had wondered if the X would throw anyone off since for example, FTV has FTV X and that's male/female hardcore sex.
Met-Art's "hardcore" site is Sex Art. It's not going to make you think of Evil Angel or Burning Angel but it does a good job of presenting the beautiful Met-Art models in hardcore sex.
Met-Art X is more like DDF's One By Day site used to be and how 21 Sextury's Club Sandy and Pix and Video were.

I joined a vr site with some of the videos from here that were shot in VR for only one scene, The amazon scene lol. I downloaded some of the other videos and let me tell you I don't see how someone would be turned on by fucking a zombie, or raping a alien and so on. Just ew, But I do have to say that a lot of time and money went into the scenes that I did watch and have to give credit to them, the make-up and costumes are movie grade. Just not my bag baby as Austin would say.
I couldn't agree more. Every time I get tempted by a streaming only service I reflect back on some of the gems (like Spring) that I have saved on my hard drive. I'd rather pay a little high price and be able to go back to the bank anytime in the future.
There are a couple of rather gory shoots on Burning Angel, which I honestly skipped right by as soon as I realized what they were, but Horror Porn takes this to a new level... I mentioned elsewhere that I think this is some extension of monster-sex animation that is popular in some circles. There is a site that specializes in selling tools to create 3d porn animation, but I can't find it at the moment. That site has lots of monster models to purchase and include in animations and from what I can tell, the site is moderately successful. So maybe this is just a mental evolution for the type of person that does that.
I have to wonder......anal sex is moderately popular among heterosexual millenials because they have such easy access to porn and consider it a normal sex thing (I think) because they see it there. I wonder what this kind of stuff will bring to sex in general? Hopefully nothing.
Yeah I do stay clear of the billers I don't know or have a bad rep, I should get myself one of these pre-paid cards I know, just never get around to it. Would save on the headache of cancelling though and could join sites on my risky billers list.
For sure they seem to of found a real spin now to their vids and have been one of the most improved sites I've joined from my experience with them the time before.
I still don't understand why they decided to go with a different pricing model than even Brazzers, who who owns them. You can get Brazzers for 9.99 practically anywhwere and it includes downloads. They are the only MindGeek site that prices like this that i'm aware of.
I also signed up for the $9.99 Christmas deal, and no where did I see where it was streaming only. After signing up, when I clicked on the link to download, I got a pop-up asking me to sign up for the Christmas deal for $9.99 (which I obviously already did). It even says "Start downloading now".
I contacted RK and was told that I had streaming only membership.
As far as I'm concerned it was pure theft on Reality Kings part. I'll never purchased from them again.
Hi - Thank you for the reply. I believe the subscription to a particular site will only give the download capability for that month only which would mean that you have to buy past month subscriptions. But again, I could be wrong. In either case, I believe the ticket system and or the subscription will not work for me as I am a very avid collector and it would be very expensive to pull this through given tons of other subscriptions that I have.
Hi - I was wondering if you ever checked out the new pay structure. I understand now they have monthly subscription but it says you can only download the releases for that month. Do you know if you can download releases from the past? Or is that where you will need to buy tickets again and we are back to square one? Please let me know if you have any info.
Thanks
Matt
