The funny thing is that the internet isn’t as porn-driven as commonly thought…
Time magazine won’t One Box, so from 2011…
The Internet really isn’t as pornography-filled as you might think. In fact, according to one expert, only 42,337 of the one million most-trafficked websites online are offering sex-related content, which translates into somewhere around 4% of sites on the Internet.
That surprising figure—am I the only person who expected it to be much higher?—comes from neuroscientist Ogi Ogas who, along with his partner Sai Gaddam, collected porn statistics as research for his book A Billion Wicked Thoughts. He went on to say that 13% of all web searches between July 2009 and July 2010 were for “erotic content,” down from an estimated 40-50% ten years earlier. So has the Internet just become more family-friendly as it grows older?
Thousands of years of dudes-in-robes trying to monetize both sexuality and shame thereof may simply have created a hole in their damnation mythology that cannot be plugged, regardless of its absolute fraction of any economic sector.
For them I shall break out the magnifying glass to find a small enough violin to play them out.
