Paul, you are right that that was huge, but the internet is still the biggest thing to come along by far, and it singlehandedly killed the brick and mortar store market and the newstand magazine market as well. When we were younger, we all waited until we were 18 (or could fake it) to be able to buy Playboy or Hustler or whatever off the stands, now I don't think any 18 year old kid could care less about paying for a porn mag and has seen it all already online anyways.

The internet made it possible to get everything you wanted without ever leaving your room or having to go up to a store clerk to pay for it. And the early years meant that most still had to pay for the video content they wanted, but now that is being stolen and given away for free all over the place too, and teens learn how to get it free because they have no credit cards, so even when they do get old enough and get credit cards they are not going to spend money on porn because they have it all figured out already.... so the demographics are changing and that period of time has passed. The new generation expect everything for free, whereas the last generation was not like that.
