Eventually, the medium reaches its developmental limit, forming its "climax community" (pun not intended, seriously).(the internet is currently in this stage, as a medium) A positive feedback loop is hence set up, improving the "new medium" in the aforementioned way over and over. With regards to new media, the alteration of the environment relates to pushing the new medium's boundaries.
This belief does appear to be promoted by the adult industry itself with the result that a significant number of claims don't hold up to scrutiny.įor the scientifically inclined, this trope may be seen as the technological equivalent of the biological concept known as "Succession", which - in its most basic form - goes like so: (But not before the media and Moral Guardians get ahold of it and create a moral panic about all that " smut".) As more consumers can afford the medium, more non-adult content becomes available, until finally the adult material becomes a niche rather than the primary content available. This, in turn, will drive up demand, pushing the new medium into the mass market, where economies of scale come into play and make it affordable for increasing numbers of consumers. They will, of course, attempt to maximize their profits by flooding their customers with product. Supposedly, the first group of content providers to colonize a new medium once it becomes commercially viable will almost always be the producers of adult-oriented material - that is, pornography.
