The Volume of Internet Porn

There used to be a saying, that the Internet was built on porn. It was afterall the first successful online commercial venture - long before Amazon.com and the likes, Internet porn was profitable.

Extremetech has a great article on the volume of Internet traffic that is consumed by porn. The numbers are staggering; and really dwarf Internet sites including some of the most popular websites. Much of the traffic is made up of streaming data (contributing to the volume), but even the unique visits etc. are impressive.
