Do People Really Want Mobile Porn?
I know that people have been predicting this for years, but I still have trouble believing that the market for mobile porn really is as big as people say it is. Thus, while some seem thrilled that a mobile adult content provider is launching a delivery and billing system, I'm still skeptical that it will really catch on. Certainly, internet porn is a very big business, but I don't see how that translates directly to the mobile phone. Are people really that hard up for porn that they're willing to pay big bucks to download a tiny, terrible resolution photo to the screens on their mobile phones? And, even if there really are people who can't wait until they get to their desk to view some porn, do people really want to view porn while they're out and about and others can see them checking out the porn? While, I'm sure some will mess around with it for the novelty, it seems like a fairly limited market.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
