pornhub usage statistics
pornhub kinda sucks btw
When I first saw this I didn’t realize it was for PornHub and was just stoked for the year of the Linux desktop lmao
I think avenue Q said it best, “The internet is for porn”.
Sure, PornHub is not the only thing you can do on the Internet. Some of the more formal studies are functionally run by marketing groups, who are likely more skewed to advertising demographics.
Example: the fundamental backbone of the internet upgraded as part of the CERN Large Hadron Collider project construction, to distribute the massive amount research data being generated to scientists across the world - but Cloudflare doesn’t count that traffic when preparing it’s statistics)
All I’m saying is: you could do a lot worse than PornHub as a research authority for trends in this subject.
I’m curious why Chrome OS had such a big drop?
My Chromebook self-destructed a couple years ago and nearly burned our house down. That thing also was the shortest lived computer I’ve ever owned.
Lets go Gentoo
OS/2 Warp still doing numbers!
Who tf is accessing the hub on a chromebook? Never seen an adult use one, so I sure hope it isn’t teenagers on their school laptop . . .
when I was a kid I would read smut on my 3ds
Huh, me too :D
Many young people grow into adults. Some of them keep their tech through multiple years. :P
She’s not using it for porn (that I’m aware of) but my wife got a Chromebook with her last phone. Handy enough little thing.
Is there anything at all surprising about teenagers using what might be their only computer outside of their phone to access porn?
Have you ever seen any other adult access “the hub” on any operating system?
oh, i’ve seen a few presentations start early in college
I was referring to seeing an adult using a Chromebook in general. Of course I haven’t seen another adult use “the hub;” it’s not like people use it in public.
Year of the privacy conscious Linux Wank
Upvoted you, then realised you probably didn’t mean “privacy conscious Linux Wank” as referring to a type of person. Keep the upvote.
They meant the verb, not the noun
Lots of jurisdictions are blocking the site now, necessitating VPNs to access the site.
There’s probably a higher percentage of Linux adoption among VPN users.
I run Windows but my VPN server is Debian.
They most likely check based on User Agent, so you should still be under Windows for them
Presumably caused by people browsing on their blow-off-some-steam deck
those numbers do not add up to 100% again?
change in share, not total share. or are you referring to the .2% rounding error?
no, not the rounding error: keep in mind, i am a statistic noob: The total amount of plus and minus in the bar chart should cancel eachother out because otherwise all useres wouldnt be 100% which sounds odd.
But as stated in the other reply i am really a noob and just read the wikipedia on precetnage points.
so the bottom line, i think the quantity (not percentage) of all the changes nets out to zero, so for simplicity’s sake let’s pretend there’s no chrome, mac, or other. since there are so many more windows users a 1.7% drop in windows is (for the sake of this example) the same as the 22.4% increase in linux users. when you convert away from percentages, you’ll see a quantity that represents the same number, but since you have to divide by the starting number of users and windows had so many more… am i making sense?
fuck, i’m high. am i even right? it’s been a few decades.
Yeah i think i get it… the total amount of users is 90 Windows and 10 Linux. At the next survey its 89 Windows and 11 Linux. So linux is up by 10% but Windows only down by 0.9% compared to the last value
right right
I think it’s relative change and not percentage points, from quick mental math that seems to add up. Very weird choice, maybe trying to inflate the perceived increase in linux users. So it would be a change of a bit more than +1 percentage point for linux.
Aha i did not know about % points. Why on earth is this the same “%” sign… anyway thanks for clarification
>>> eval(ln(30/6.3)/ln(1.224)) 7.721232148888825 >>>Less than 8 years at this pace to reach 30 %, and 6 more to take over all of desktop and then some. No more Windows in 2040!
and in 20 years it’s on track to weigh 3.2 trillion pounds.
tipping points occur a lot earlier like at 25%, once we hit that it’ll be all over very fast.
This is very basic extrapolation of 22.4% yearly exponential growth. It’s a joke, at the end of 2039 we’d have an impossible market share of 107 percent(…age points to distinguish from the 22.4% figure’s unit).
I count 99.8% in this chart…
Linux was at -16.1% before?
Edit: y’all, my point is that the bar graph at the bottom could be better displayed as percentage points in order to show comparable changes.
most certainly that increase of 22.4% casued the Share to be at 6.3% thus in 2024 Linux had a share of 4.8%
It raised increased by 22.4% in relation to its previous share.
Percentage vs percentage points!
Exactly. It would be more useful to see percentage points.
