As of January 2024, of the most popular 100 videos on Pornhub, 4.1 billion views were for step-incest videos and 3.3 billion views were for all other videos combined.
Pretty sure it’s for porn sites to get around places that make incest porn illegal or banned. It gives them a grey area to say it’s not really incest if they aren’t portrayed as genetic relatives.
That’s true and most of the article I think is more about incest porn and not necessarily step incest porn, but I think it’s important if we’re going to make the distinction we should also mention the difference and legal loopholes that may affect why the step part of it is so much more frequent used. For example a few years ago many porn sites replaced titles with words like mother, son, etc with m, s, etc as an obfuscation tactic and then a while later many were updated or reposted with step instead even if the actual content makes no reference to step.

That only explains the “step” part, not the explosive growth of the genre overall
