Guys, we’re losing big to mobile devices. Although I’m glad Australia is still going strong at 12% desktop computer.
65.2% (globally) are Android so technically we’re winning!
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)
Probably Steam Deck users with that handheld device in one hand and their handheld device in the other.
That link is amazing… they even have maps 😂 !
The pornhub blog is surprisingly good reading every once in a while. They take their data analysis seriously.
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).
My guess is the increase is due to two factors: Linux based vms scraping PH content to create tensor training models for nsfw AI image generators and individuals in the U.S. visiting behind a vpn that’s registering to the client as a Linux device. I’d visit the link but I’m not behind a vpn.
I don’t know why your browser would report itself as a linux browser just because it’s behind a proxy or VPN
New gens are ruining everything - “vertical video” gen-z, really?
Y’all need a spanking.
Kinda bummed they grouped the fetish all in one category. Thought we were getting weird here
… is it possible that these uneducated plebeians just put “fetish” in the search?
(jk)
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?
HR: IT detected that you watch porn at work.
Employee: I’m not, it’s all SFW videos
HR: OK, no problem then.
Those gen y and x ages are whack
Also, I hate zoomers and their vertical videos too
Yeah, idk what tf those age brackets are, it’s like they haven’t updated them since they first set up the graphics for the statistics.
Ok I have problems with these cutoffs for ages. My wife is 57 (1967) and is very definitely a gen x’er.
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.
What Useragent do AI Bots send?
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.
Sorry guys… My gooning streaks are skewing the data; I’m the masturbations Georg and shouldn’t have been counted…
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 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.
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
