One poor Reddit user simply wanted to watch adult content on a larger screen — his family’s TV, specifically — and was betrayed by his own technology.
“Don’t cast Pornhub to your TV if your family [is] using Android devices!” the Redditor warned in a recent thread, explaining that his mom just asked him if he was watching Pornhub the night before.
“She said a notification came up on her phone and she had blamed my 12-year-old brother,” he wrote. “I had to say yes, obviously. I couldn’t let him get the blame. To say that I am mortified doesn’t even cover it. 27 years old, and this is the first time I have been caught.”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The humiliated porn consumer then discovered how dear old mom found out. “I tested it, and it comes up as a notification saying a device on your Wi-Fi is casting, along with a picture of the Pornhub logo,” he wrote. “Anyone know how to turn this off?”
One commenter had a potential fix: “I’ve had the same issue before,” he wrote. “To turn this feature off, open the Google Home app, click on the device your Chromecast is on, click on [the] cog in the upper-righthand corner, and switch the toggle off for the option ‘Let others control your cast media.’ That should stop that from happening.”

Then there’s this idea from another Redditor: “I have roommates, and just to avoid this, made a separate Wi-Fi network for my devices.”
Be careful out there, folks. If Big Brother isn’t keeping an eye on you, Mother might be!

What’s wrong with living with your family at 27 years old. I wish I could move back in with my family and I’m 34. lol
what’s with all these people and their desire to move out so quickly? tbh i really don’t get it, we (typically) move out of our families’s place when we get married.. are your families that horrible?

Excuse me!!!!???…..By the time I was 27, I had left grad school in Virginia, where my parents lived, and had been working for two years at my first engineering job in Atlanta. Why is he still living with his mom? Is he a total ner-do-well? Geez!!!!! Just my opinion.

Because he’s a virgin watching porn and McDonald’s isn’t paying enough for him to get his own apartment. At 27 I would hope his mother would realize that porn is available 24 x 7 for free unlike other forms of entertainment and who’s he really hurting except his member.

Maybe keep your opinions to yourself next time. Sometimes children don’t move out because they’re key to the house staying afloat. Maybe think about how your comments make other people feel before sharing them.

Along with all the others , why is a 27 year old still living at home with his mother ?
The only plausible reason that comes to mind is under employed and still living off Mom.
If that’s the case you should be “Mortified” for more than Pornhub as a reason.

Hey! Low Income families like mine rely on every member to chip in. If you moving out meant your parents couldn’t eat and you still did it, you’d be a pretty shitty child. Also, some people actually enjoy the company of their family and/or live in very nice homes.

We created these folks that still live at home. Look in the mirror. I mean how many college students think that socialism is a perfectly acceptable way to live? I’ll say again, we created the problem.
Wolfwalk
You think socialism means living at home with your parents once you’re an adult? Where did you study, Trump U?

O, ye who are quick to judge. Maybe he’s providing health care for his mom. Maybe the rent he chips in is necessary to family finances. Maybe……

……maybe the whole story is made up, as is often the case with the characters in these reddit-based “news” articles

Whether the man lives at “home” or not isn’t the point of the article! That said, he could be living at “home” for any number of reasons, as well as not knowing how long he has been living there – a year, a month, a week, an extended visit.

Yeah, but what stinks is these are the kinds of attitudes you find everywhere nowadays. It sucks. People will say anything when it’s behind a screen.

Haha hilarious comments but waaaaay off topic!
