Hmm,, another large group I'm NOT a part of.
ReplyDeleteAlternate headline: pornography is about 5% -rough eyeball- of total web usage. For context, can anyone state reliable stats on print porn vs total print media in, say 1970? Etc. This does not seem to me to be a major use of the web, despite a lot of stories claiming that XX (large number)% of web usage is porn. Clearly not so. It's not even close to low double digits. Incidentally- for comparison, $12bn in annual revenue (by which I understand "sales") is pretty anemic, too. P&G -a single consumer company- has >$80bn annual revenue. The comparison to the failing, and falling, minor legacy media is misleading. Fox News has roughly $12bn in annual revenue. Amazon's number was $524bn. And so on. (Some of these are worldwide numbers; it's unclear whether the quoted numbers are US, NA, worldwide, or what).
ReplyDeleteIs this just NYC, or is this for the entire world?
