I rarely hear anyone blame Social Media for any decline in porn earnings. Specifically Facebook and Instagram and now Snapchat. All three of these have really changed our behaviour online. In fact in many ways they've taken a huge percentage of surfers off the web. All three are their own environment where in most cases the surfer is no longer surfing the web the way he used to. They aren't going to come across your content. Most damaging is they are getting content that is good enough to get them off. While it isn't as explicit as adult it satisfy other needs. It's voyeuristic, it's stalkerish and it's familiar. Now instead of seeing a stranger they can see their university teacher in a bikini, or their co worker.

It's something I've thought about for some time. Was wondering what you guys think?
