Porn NO LONGER Plagues America’s Top 10 Ranking Websites

Here’s a hint: Just four to five years ago, 3 of those seven positions would have been porn sites. Yes, according to SimilarWeb, of the top 10 websites that Americans view the most, porn sites ranked at numbers #6, #7, and #8.

They were ahead of giants like Twitter (#9), eBay (#10), Instagram and Wikipedia.

BUT NOT ANYMORE!

SimilarWeb, now shows those same 3 porn sites ranked at #11, #13, and #14. This is amazing progress in the right direction toward shutting down major porn sites!

Stereotypes

For many years the stereotype of a porn user was a grown man who would have to go out of his way to enter a store and buy a magazine. Porn is still often laughed at and mentioned in a joking fashion.
