    Pornhub is lowkey a very skilled tech company. Delivering a quality video platform on the scale they do is incredibly difficult.

    Also obligatory: Year of the Linux Desktop! 🎉

    My apologies, this data is misleading. Most of the new traffic is actually just me mass downloading and data hoarding porn across thousands of VMs. Whenever I need to rub one out I ssh into one of them and watch it that way. Keeps it off my main machine and keeps my browser history clean.

    I am very suspicious of the -26% Apple marketshare. It makes me feel like there’s more to this than it seems at first. There’s no way 26% of Apple users stopped using Apple devices within a year.

    Edit: maybe it could be caused by a large user base increase that shifted the demographics, but this fast? And the PornHub bans across US states started only this year for the most part if I’m not mistaken, so it shouldn’t affect this data?

      2024 was the release of iOS 17.4, when Apple allowed third party browsers to use their own engine instead of WebKit/Safari as a layer beneath. So it could very well be that Firefox Mobile and Chrome Mobile on iOS don’t get registered as iOS Device in this survey due to their user agent.

        No browser uses a different engine yet (presumably because Apple only allows them to offer this in the EU, under draconian conditions).

      The pornhub blog is surprisingly good reading every once in a while. They take their data analysis seriously.
