I know the big ones, but there must be a lot of smaller sites. What are these sites? I must know for science
Somewhere between 4 porn sites and 30 million porn sites is quite the hedged bet.
I feel confident saying that there’s at least 6 of them.
I remember when it was like 50%. /s kinda
I think the figure was that almost half of the traffic on the internet was related to porn sites.
I have no idea if there is any updated stats for that.
I suppose you could surveil a major internet node and check all DNS requests to estimate how much traffic is “porn related” overall.
I do remember hearing that as well actually, and at a point in the late 90s early 2k it might be true. It sure seemed that way anyways.
I remember that porn was overtaken by social media in 2016. Can’t find a source for that any more though
12% is a lot less than I expected. I was thinking it would be like 40%+
The number does not surprise me, the percentage of total traffic does. I figured it would be much higher.
No citation for that number, I wonder how they came to it.
4 million sites for a global population of 8 billion means 1/2000. That doesn’t sound sustainable.
I wonder how they came to it.
I am only really familiar with those owned by Aylo as well as XNXX and XVideos. Are there good reasons to use any others? If so which ones?
Internet pornography or online pornography is any pornography that is accessible over the [Internet primarily via websites FTP connections, peer-to-peer file sharing or Usenet newsgroups.
So I willing to bet the reason to use any other then what you identified is for really nasty shit.
Dont kink shame, dude. But also, another reason is that copyright claims get videos taken down, but all these other random sites still have them because its probably nearly impossible to find every site posting your copyrighted shit and complain. It’s like the shell game and it’s the reason nothing ever leaves the internet once it’s posted (assuming it was ever interesting in the first place).
