I grew up in the 80's/90's and there was a whole trade system in school. Swapping magazines and VHS tapes. It's not a new thing.

- throw_pm23 4y agoIt is not new, but it is plausible that through wide availability and deliberate exploitation of addictive behaviour ("Mindgeek"?) it has recently reached a state where it may tear society apart.
- donatj 4y agoI think to argue that pornography alone is tearing society apart is a massive over statement. Caused some overly-inflated expectations in the bedroom sure. Destroyed society? Nah
- zirgs 4y agoBut those magazines were/tapes were way more tamer than what we have now. Kids can access extreme porn with a few clicks easily. Something is definitely wrongh here.
- jstarfish 4y agoThere is an inherent rate-limiting in trading anything with others. Physical media gets lost/confiscated and you can only re-read the same magazine so many times before you get bored and move on. Nobody invited you to an endless all-you-can-watch telethon of fresh content. That's where we are today.
