    Bullpoo. Go 100 years without the world having sex, and then see if it's an essential service or not!

    There absolutely has been an online renaissance, what am I missing? Social media is busier than I've seen it since 2010 and people are rediscovering viral challenges, memes and even flash games to an extent.

    Of course there has been an online explosion due to all the discussion around this. I don't know what point the OP is trying to make. Boards alone has huge numbers online so imagine the bigger sites.

    Anyone remember Farmville and its emotionally manipulative notifications to rope you into to playing it? "[Friend] has sent you a lonely cow who needs a home, will you adopt her?" [cartoon of a calf with an exceptionally sad cartoon face] :D
