Yes, agreed. The free porn online devastated magazines.

Yes people had to wait for the next issue of their favorite magazine, they often had a few. But still they had to wait and pay for it.

Online porn changed all that. Everyday loads of sites had loads of updated new free porn. Not only did people not have to wait, get a small selection, they didn't have to buy either.

And as the online porn industry grew, we gave away even more free porn.

And the only answer online porn had. Was throw out more free porn to get more traffic so 1 person bought.
