We're a Nation of Porn Addicts

In just one year (2016) we dedicated well over four and a half billion hours to watching porn on one porn site. On that single website humanity spent twice as much time viewing porn in a year as it has spent existing on planet Earth. The site had over 90 billion video views and 44,000 visitors every minute of every day. It all adds up to over 500 thousand years worth of porn consumed in the span of 12 months. Since 2015, human beings have spent one million years watching porn.

Porn seems to be America's favorite pastime. The porn industry is worth $97 billion, which is about 100 times higher than the $750 million it was worth 20 years ago. Today, porn grosses more in a year than Hollywood. It also brings in more money than the NFL, NBA, and MLB combined. And this is just "the porn industry," the legal, W-2 filing porn stuff. If we were to quantify amateur porn and figure out what it's all "worth" in dollars, who knows what the number would be.
