Link to these several reports? Would love to see some statistics to show how Porn sales have dropped because people are playing games more or on social networks more.
LOL the christian right will be thrilled, all this time all they had to do was get people hooked on WOW and facebook and everyone would stop jerking off and looking at porn.  |
Exactly... wow was huge 10 years ago, this is how long it has slowly been ripping away at us and today WoW is still really fucking huge. And it's just one, of literally 1,000's of online games, let alone what sites like Facebook have in it that report insane play hours and what mobile devices offer, equally with insane play hours. 10 years has only compounded the issue 100's of times over and it's getting worse.
Porn is part of the Internet...it's not subject to any different statistical trends than the rest of the Internet. If globally they can see peoples surfing times and what they surf change, for the entire globe - it damn sure means it changed for porn too. A very large number of reports have talked about the social trends of online sites, games, mobile devices, etc that have pulled people for countless hours, days, months and years away from the normal buying cycles, surfing habits and even life habits changed drastically. It's not a question of, has it affected things - it's a question of how much it has.
I don't need reports created uniquely for our Industry to be able to see the global traffic and exposure for our Industry has greatly dropped... I can see the answer to why simply by looking at what the entire Internet is actually doing.
