    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.

    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.

        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.

        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.

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

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

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

      I’m somewhat proud my generation is actively seeking out parody porn. Those videos tend to be higher budget and more sex positive (less gonzo misogyny).

      Edit: well, should caveat that by saying relatively less misogynist
