Cover pages back in the day provided huge exposure to just a random girl who maybe sucked the right dick but hardly more than that - and this exposure usually went viral, she got people talking about her, comments in the news and other magazines etc etc.

What internet has to offer that is similar to this kind of exposure from just one photo session? I just do not see it. Real hardworking girls who have the right promoters who will also work their asses out to get girl's name out there, they can get huge. But mag's cover page was the opportunity for about ANY good looking girl, no matter how lazy.
