Any effects from the stimulus checks would be wide spread, not narrowly focused in a single area. When handed a bulk of money, most people will go out and buy a single item priced in that range, rather than metering it out. It's human natural. You have $500 burning a hole in your pocket, and whatever it is that you wanted that came near $500 is what you will end up buying.

Now, if they first paid down their credit cards and then used their card to buy, I dunno, $400, maybe they felt they had a bit left and bought a porn membership or joined AFF or whatever. I would suspect that services like Itunes and Amazon got nice boosts through the time frame.

For me, january to june have been all in a very similar range, however the actual sales are shifting rapid from program to program, as some just seem to have stopped converting altogether.

I've always thought of adult to be the "recession proof industry". Do you think that's no longer the case?

Only welfare is recession proof.

Vancouver has always been good for that. The city and the police have chosen to turn a very blind eye to the blight of drugs and homelessness, which in turn leads to olympic quality dumpster diving.
