Has that ever had a positive impact or is it a death spiral? From what I understand heavier models is more in demand from younger viewers.

  From the responses I see in social media, people hate it. I don't understand how younger people demand obese models. Is it a "loud pc minority" making that demand? It's totally against the natural instinct and mating attractiveness of fit vs unfit. Especially teenagers who tend to be fitter than adults.

    Both could be vocal minorities. I'm not sure what the impact of these models are: they're either a throw everything at the wall or giving up. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0042593 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal... I've read and noticed that thin women and flat asses aren't popular anymore. Some men like the unnatural physiques according to plastic surgery. Younger people are more anxious, stressed, don't have a future to look forward to with home ownership and social media also hurts many. I have doubts that this helps but it kept being repeated so I thought it might have some benefit. Was it actually the negative reaction for publicity?!

      That's an interesting study paper. I think they're making a mistake in wording the conclusion with so much certainty based on the tiny sample size though. I'd say big companies that can confidently stratify the age of users in their porn search preferences, or even social media users, would be a good way to get a more valid sample size.
