social communities
I think most would argue that porn is inherently anti-social. I don't see a lot of social communities made up of just one person (probably half of IRC).
That's a good point, but it does include YouTube, and much of the porn "universe" these days revolves around file-sharing and adult versions of YouTube.[1] It also includes the New York Times and other sites where user-participation is still more of an afterthought, and calling them "communities" is sort of a stretch.
