Fakku, an English-language hentai platform, joined the fight against Covid with an announcement that all of its porn will be free for the next two weeks. Within hours of that announcement, however, the site crashed—possibly due to an overwhelming swarm of homebound hentai enthusiasts overloading its servers and attempting to download the free content while they could.

Jacob originally used money from student loans to pay for server and bandwidth costs, but that quickly became unsustainable and shortly after its launch Fakku was forced to shut down.
