Demand for nude photos existed long before money did. Me and/or you clicking or not clicking on a photo found via a google search is not going to move the needle of demand for that sort of thing one bit. I understand why you would feel that way, but don't kid yourself into thinking those actions have any sort of potential to translate into impact.
You don't think clicks add up? I do. I don't think that I alone can change anything with my clicking habits, but I do think that if fewer people viewed illicit photos, fewer illicit photos would be bought by these sites. One or two people changing the channel won't change much, but when enough folks do it, shows get cancelled.
I also know that no matter what I haven't contributed to another person having their privacy violated.
By the way, I'm not talking about just nude photos. Those can be had anywhere, with the consent of the subject, and I don't have a problem with that at all. The problem here is that folks are defending and/or justifying the enjoyment of nude photos taken from people who had no intention of those photos ever being made public. There's a difference and you should not gloss that over.
