The main stat cited in this article is misleading.
Also, it wasn't 62 million individuals, it was total monthly site visits. You can count as tens, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of visits to any given site as long as you visit it enough. (and depending on how that number is calculated)
Doesn't mean this isn't a problem, but it doesn't mean there are 62 million men out there actively visiting this site every month for that kind of content...
...and the views also included every category of content on the site, much of which is just what you could find on any porn site.

I noticed that sleep themed videos began being suggested online after that famous case in France. I found it ironic. The case rose awareness, I guess.
What does this say about society? I don't know. These same websites also recommend poop videos. I'm pretty sure access to the internet has messed people up.
Same thing as copycat killers and echo mass shootings, I guess.
Edit: actually, that's unfair, same monkey see monkey do happens with charity and the like, it's not all bad.
