305 million subscribers. 468 million monthly website visits.
Currently in the news is the retirement of an adult star who made 67 million Dollars in 3 years. Very little focus is put on the vast majority of "entertainers" who make very little money. And even less on the vast vast majority of website visitors that pay instead of being payed.
I don't think it's useful to argue if it's 1 in 27 or 1 in 24 depending on how big the world population is. What's more interesting to me: ** what does this do to our society and culture?**
1 in 27. Only half the population is male (which is almost all subscribers if we are being honest) so maybe 1 in 14? How many in the world population are too old or too young to use the internet like that. Then exclude all the poor people from third world countries. You get where I'm going with this. Walk through the downtown of any major western city and count the humans: 1,2,3..1,2,3... What a baffling statistic, don't you think?
