That's not true.
A) There are plenty of newbs on usenet. With "all-on-one" services like AOL, Newsgroups are just another button in the software and considering that all you have to do is search for groups containing the word you are interested in, it's a lot easier for a real newb than going out into the open internet.
B) If they are surfing usenet for porn, they ARE newbs. Think about the time, effort and spam involved with getting porn from newsgroups and ask yourself: why don't they get it from TGPs like everyone else? The answer is they don't know any better. As frustrating as it probably is to get the porn your want from newsgroups, those people are ripe for a plucking.
I say, just be careful and respectuful to group rules. Post on-topic messages/pics/movies with your URL in the message and branded on the content. As long as you post something relevant with each message, you can probably lay them on pretty thick with no real trouble.
