    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! 🎉

      I don’t like their company because they are also like the meta of porn in the sense that they bought up all their competitors and have made a monolith service

      I made it to the final round of interviewing with them a couple years ago. I think it would have been interesting to work for them. They have PHP and even some Laravel in their stack.

          Yeah I was a bit surprised too, they even told me how well I did during the interview and how I was getting stuff right that most of their candidates get wrong, and they made it seem like I should expect an offer from them. I think the dealbreaker was that I hadn’t worked with message brokers before.

      Apart from hosting an ad service that served malware, and having their user database leaked more than once.

      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?

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

    Do you guys realize how much 40% actually is in a single year? That’s crazy. Don’t just look at the 5.1%.

    I’m sure it’s heavily influenced by the Steam Deck, it being a great device for porn and all, but still.

      As long as you don’t use any of the windows and use the front door like my pet penguin, I won’t mind.
      And there’s a kernel of truth in there and by that I don’t mean the kernel of an apple.

    Guys, we’re losing big to mobile devices. Although I’m glad Australia is still going strong at 12% desktop computer.

    Under video game consoles, it lists 0.1% for “Other (3DS/PS Vita)”. Unless PornHub offers 3D porn that works on the 3DS (do they?!), I refuse to believe even 0.01% would use the 3DS browser in this capacity.

    (On the other hand, that’s 0.1% of video game consoles, and I can’t imagine too many people use their consoles for porn in the first place… Basically I’d love to see absolute numbers for this)

    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).

      I’m pretty sure they can filter out the bot traffic. Like, if they know how old you are, they probably know if you’re a bot.

          Why? Did you get stuck in a washing machine yourself at some point?

          On a more serious note, I remember reading an article once about this phenomenon. About how it’s not some widespread latent sex fantasy to fuck step-siblings. Rather it’s an odd reflection of how algorithms poison the content in this attention economy. The more unusual the content is (without being outright objectionable), then the more attention it gets for being so unusual. That starts a wave of new creations from content creators to jump on the bandwagon for the popularity of the content that seems to be getting traction. Then pretty soon anyone not catering to this “demand” is an outlier and loses out, so eventually this theme of content floods the entire ecosystem.

              I hear ya. I really wish we could go back to the good old days of “who ordered the extra large sausage pizza” and " I’m here to check your plumbing, ma’am".

                Yeah I mean if you’re going to make weird fetish stuff, do it I just hate that some videos that I might enjoy watching are kind of ruined for me just by the title.

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