There's gonna be a really weird uptick in prostate cancer in 30-40 years.

Nah, the point at which you increase your risk of prostate cancer is when you dont cum for many many months. But if you cum every day you increase your risk of prostate cancer because your prostate has to regenerate more cells.

Well. Realistically it's always generating getting rid of and regenerating sperm. Ejaculate material doesn't stay good and is passed in the urine normally. Not saying that being completely drained 24/7 couldn't be stressful to the organ though

You’re one of the people spreading pseudoscience this article is talking about

The psuedoscience is you trying to justify your porn addiction

You are aware, that masturbation without porn is possible, right?

Prostate generates precum, not cum. And precum does not consist of cells. So, please, clarify, what exactly do you mean.
