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
apparently: the same goes for its patrons; i’m sure i’m responsible for atleast 1 percentage point. lol
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.
Can’t believe they turned you down. Would’ve loved to hear about PH developer stories
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.
First time I’ve heard of message brokers. I guess I’ll have to learn that if I want a job with PH
If you want a computer programming job with them then yeah definitely.
Apart from hosting an ad service that served malware, and having their user database leaked more than once.
Netflix but for horny people
“Netflix and chill” has lead me to believe those 2 Ven diagrams overlap quite a lot
Pornhub and get to it
“Netflix and chill” but with a distinct lack of chill.
Probably Steam Deck users with that handheld device in one hand and their handheld device in the other.
Just fapped as a celebration 🎉

I have to ask: What kind of browser is Android? Do people watch porn from WebView? Wouldn’t that just be Chrome?
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
Or, and hear me out, what if they actually have good engineers and know how to sanitise their analytics? And at the risk of sounding crazy, what if the reason that the Linux share is rising is because it’s genuinely becoming more popular?
Crazy talk, right?
User agent logging is often done by running javascript locally on a machine, so the vpn would just pass the javascript to the local machine on which it would be run, so the data wouldn’t be effected that way.
Sometimes TLS fingerprinting is done to try to identify bots and not sure if bots would be included. They probably would be included because if they were blocked, then the javascript catching user would never be run on their machine, although I’m unsure of whether such bots would run useragent fingerprinting javascriot yo try to blend in or block it to avoid unneeded processing.
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 was gonna say, I haven’t heard of any rewrites yet, and it is probably GDPR or some similar regulatory compliance.
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.
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.
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.
Now I want to see the usage stats for e621.
You wouldn’t be surprised :3
That’s one horney Linux user
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!
I wish I could run Linux on my phone.
Maybe you can
Oh neat, I’ll have to look into this.
Something something Android is Linux 😅
Tablet pornography must be nice.
That seems like someone who made a plan, and then lived out their best evening.
I imagine those tablet Pornhub users probably prepared themselves a nice mixed drink, set out some snacks, and got all cozy in a bathrobe first.
Tablet pornhub sounds like some kind of intentional self care.
Kinda hard to use your desktop in bed or hiding in the bathroom.
Does porn work well on Linux ? looking to switch
Bash:
yay -Ss stepsister-stuck
I hate the step sibling stuff so much.
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.
Seems very plausible. The title just puts me off.
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.
If your kink is Penguin …

This a serious question? If so, yes it works like a normal computer
You need to check PorntonDB
AKA TBLOP
No I was riffing on all those “does x work on Linux” threads
0.4% other
to the brave coomers keeping bsd aliveKeeping OpenBDSM alive 😆
I bet that fish can inflate!
the age of linux is cumming upon os.
ok this is really bad , ill see myself out…
Not what the distro meant by release
I have nothing constructive to say. I laughed too much at this.
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.take my angry upvote!
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.
It does correlate with the numbers Steam released a few days or weeks ago.
Windows 11 not installing on “older” machines is big too.
We really need to thank Microsoft. They’re pushing a LOT of people to try out the free stuff.
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.
By the way, how can a site know your age through mere non logged in access?
You don’t have to be logged in because you’ve got a digital fingerprint.
I would hazard a guess that they’re using google analytics to collect this data, and google is creepy and knows everything. Maybe they got you to tell them your age at some point, or they can use the vast amount of other data they have to estimate it with probably-super-creepy accuracy.
Windows with the most popular chrome version to avoid standing out
That link is amazing… they even have maps 😂 !
This chart is fascinating, although it’s unfortunate that so many states don’t have a specific category assigned to them. I just can’t help but notice how many weeabo degenerates (I am part of said degenerates) must be living in Wisconsin, and Oregon being furry makes me wonder how many furries live there.
The pornhub blog is surprisingly good reading every once in a while. They take their data analysis seriously.
