The adult industry has virtually no entry bar; anyone can do it. As a result, we can find ourselves reading press releases composed by individuals with very little writting skill or ability.
I think you are describing the world in general. Basically everything out there is poorly written from a literary perspective in my opinion. How many billboards or flyers or newspaper articles have you seen that look like they have been written by a monkey; they are full of grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, and misused words. I don't think you can really categorize a press release as fitting into the "literary world" any more than peoples writing on gfy or another board. People these days are not interested in good writing or grammatical correctness; people want their information fast and concise.
