No. It’s not.
From the earliest days of the internet, porn has always been king, at one time swallowing up more than half of the world’s bandwidth. Over the years though, as video streaming has come of age and the internet’s been flooded with news stories and pranks and pet videos and TikToks and tons of other schlock, porn’s total bandwidth usage has “dropped” to about one-third.
According to a handful of recent reports from various companies that monitor bandwidth usage, YouTube and streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc., now eat up more bandwidth than porn. Netflix alone devours more than 37% of the world’s bandwidth, slightly edging-out porn all by itself.
Does that mean more people watch Netflix than porn?
No.
Or that less people are watching porn?
No, it all just means there’s more bandwidth to go around with more people streaming video content in general. In fact, more people are watching porn than ever before — and porn viewership continues to rise — only it’s percentage of overall bandwidth usage decreases as more and more people watch other shit, too.
So, no, Netflix hasn’t replaced porn. Nothing will ever replace it. So long as people have at least one free hand and an internet connection they will always go online looking for shit to jerk-off to. The only thing that will ever replace porn is better porn.
Porn still reigns supreme as king of the internet.
Long live the king!
