Mechanism? Pretty simple: Conditioning sexual arousal to everything associated with internet porn use. This is covered, and a whole lot more, in the review of the literature on porn-induced sexual dysfunctions - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5039517/ …
Does porn use cause erectile dysfunction in young men? Not a single peer-reviewed paper shows that it does.
What does predict ED in young men? Alcohol & tobacco use, poor mental & physical health, and lack of sexual experience. @DrDavidLeyhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/women-who-stray/201308/erectile-dysfunction-myth …

That's a really weak paper that includes no causal evidence, published in a very dodgy journal I've never heard of.

This is about as compelling as testimonials about the value of homeopathy or crystal healing.

Why wouldn't they advertise anywhere they can reach men interested in sex?

Yes, that's a reasonable default hypothesis, unless we get good evidence otherwise.

Lack of sexual experience causes erectile dysfunction? That must mean anxiety associated with lack of sexual experience or something...

Yes, that seems likely.

I haven't seen convincing evidence that ED has increased among young men compared to previous decades. It may have just been seriously under-reported earlier.

There are 8-9 studies that show a tremendous increase in ED in men under 40, and no peer-reviewed paper to support your assertion that ED has been under reported. Bias is showing.
