    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.

    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! 🎉

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

    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?

      They said in the report that they have grown marketshare in Asia and Africa, as less people use apple in those regions the percentage dropped.

      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.

        Well, been * ahem * told that a friend of a friend didn’t found any videos there were “Your friendly neighborhood geek goes into the house of a hot milf to upgrade her Windows 10 machine to Arch and she shows them how hot she found their Linux install skills and how thankful she is”, so that seems unlikely.

    If they’re anything like me, it’s the old laptop that you’d install Linux on as an experiment.

    And maybe that laptop was only ah… Semi-retired at the time.

    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.

    Is anyone working at a FOSS and federated alternative to pornhub?

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

        A single instance is not federated by itself. It requires multiple instances to be considered a federation.

        Just a little nitpick.

        Legal yeah, but it doesn’t stop … thousands? tens of thousands? of random porn sites. There’s no shortage of community driven porn at the moment. Federated solutions only seem to pop up when there’s sufficient non-legal censorship of community-driven 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.

          You as a user help propagate that content while you have it open.

          I’m sure that’s a legal grey area that hasn’t been explored largely but I would think you would have to actually host the content or have it on your device locally.

            In a sense, you are hosting the content. You’re retaining a copy (so long as the window is open) and constantly attempting to spread it. It’s literally built on bittorrent protocols if I remember correctly, and it’s already very well established that you can be held responsible for seeding copyright infringing material, so I see no reason at all they’d give you a pass for CP instead. You may not intend to, but remember, my example was someone who looks of age but is not.

              literally webtorrents*

              it’s already very well established that you can be held responsible for seeding copyright infringing material

              Right, because you’re hosting it and distributing it. PeerTube is just like a window to non-local content (except for the local content, obvi).
