    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.

        Even if true, that would only explain the difference for mobile users and not the decrease in mac os use.

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

          I was gonna say, I haven’t heard of any rewrites yet, and it is probably GDPR or some similar regulatory compliance.

        I don’t think third parties engine-based browsers are even available for iOS, given that Apple only allows that for EU users.

      A Foss and federated alternative to onlyfans is more achievable I guess, because pornhub nowadays has to verify the owner of the content.

      The problem with the federated model for porn is that it’s easier to get away with hosting illegal content.

        Using something like PeerTube is potentially even worse because let’s say you unknowingly open a video where someone in it looks of age but technically isn’t. You as a user help propagate that content while you have it open. You’re not just downloading illegal content at that point. You’re actively sharing it to new people.

    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.

    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! 🎉

      Is that supposed to be they watch videos in vertical…or they get off on watching vertical videos?

        Same here, but it also depends per country since well average life spans, average age to buy a house, average age to start a family etc all have an impact on when a new generation starts.

        As someone else said, they probably kept the original age bracket. I’d say it’s at least 5-6 years out of whack. Early Ys are starting their forties, late ones their thirties.

      I’m sorry. There are people who go to an adult hardcore porn site and then type in “Suitable for work”??? Like do you think the site wouldn’t get flagged at your work?

        If a step-coworker gets stuck it better not be physically or it’s NSFW. If it isn’t physical, they just get fired bcs their ass isn’t doing the job.

      I’m somewhat proud my generation is actively seeking out parody porn. Those videos tend to be higher budget and more sex positive (less gonzo misogyny).

      Edit: well, should caveat that by saying relatively less misogynist

    Probably Steam Deck users with that handheld device in one hand and their handheld device in the other.
