National Pride Marchers Choose Politics Over Porn
The National Pride March in DC (as well as Los Angeles's #ResistMarch and Atlanta's Equality March) led to major dips in porn viewing, according to reports from xHamster's traffic team.
"In cities where the LGBTQ marchers took to the streets, we saw significant dips in visitors, as marchers chose Pride over porn," said Alex Hawkins, Vice President of xHamster. "Good for them. We believe that political speech and sexual speech are both important components to the movement, and governments that censor one almost always censor the other. So keep marching, and keep uploading!"
Washington, DC and Atlanta (which hosted an Equality March) saw dips of over 10%, while LA's #ResistMarch drove a drop of 4% from the previous weekend.
That's not to say that porn wasn't on marcher's minds — but it was a little more political. The top search from DC mobile traffic? "80s Gay Porn."
"We wouldn't be surprised if marcher's were looking for inspiration from a more political time," said Hawkins.
xHamster is the leader in user-uploaded porn, with nearly two billion unique visitors each year, and more traffic than the New York Times, CNN, Fox News or ESPN.
