    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.

    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.

        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.

    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.

      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.

        This is only for iOS and the user agent will still report the OS as iOS. For macOS it was always possible to run third party web engines.

          But we don‘t know how pornhub analyzes their data. All the other statistics don‘t support their statistic.

        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.

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

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

    OS statcounter seems to get to similar numbers, with significant regional differences. Which data source would be more repräsentative and reliable ?

        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.

      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.

          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.

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

        Just a little nitpick.
