Flickr is #1 because of soft porn. Suddenly I want to visit more often
Despite the perception of Flickr as a high-brow photo sharing site, much of its popularity can be attributed to searches for soft porn.
The interesting (and obvious) thing about this is that, well, people like porn — it’s helped Flickr grow to the size it is today. (To paraphrase Dr. Cox from Scrubs, if all the porn disappeared from the Internet, all the Internet would be is one site and it would be called, “Bring back the porn”.) Still, despite the surge in traffic I’m sure I’d see, I have little desire to turn Babe Vs Babe into a porn site… there are already plenty of those out there.
