Gabriel Dance makes the argument much better than I could; I won't attempt it. He spent years investigating, actually doing things such as interviewing paedophiles, asking them 'why'. I don't have reason to doubt his conclusions. But what is clearly new is that now people are encouraged to abuse children because they can take a video, share it, sell it, gloat about it, trade it to get access to more material. Additionally, sharing imagery of abuse further harms the victims. For example, in that podcast it was mentioned that some victims receive a notification every time images of their abuse come up in a court case!
