Pornography: A desolating sickness among us
- In 2004 pornography had grown to become a $57 billion dollar industry worldwide. In the U.S. alone pornography produced more revenue than the combined revenues of all professional football, baseball and basketball franchises or the combined revenues of ABC, CBS, and NBC.
- In 2015 multi-million dollar Playboy magazine announces it will no longer sell magazines containing full nudity. Why? Because we live in a world now where porn is so widely available on the internet for FREE.
- Fast forward to 2016. PornHub, one of the industry’s biggest providers, claim their site streamed 75 GB of data a second last year—enough to fill 175 million 16 GB iPhones—a total of 87.8 billion views, up ten billion from 2014, another 15 billion over 2013.
