We reached 5.1% market share!
We need to grow that 0.5%!
Is the huge shift shift from iOS to Android to the fact iPhone users are typically less tech savvy, so places that banned porn hub (like Texas) effectively banned those users, who also weren’t savvy enough to use a VPN?
The most compelling evidence I’ve ever seen for the elusive “year of the Linux Desktop”.
Indeed.
Also great evidence that Windows is not dying, no matter what the Linux fanboys claim.
Oh god, don’t say that. You’re going to summon them. I’m getting out of here…
According to statcounter WE are currently at 4.03% market share.
Sorry, I think extra 1% is me rubbing more than one out a day.
Apple BTFO.
No one with “that’s me” and “furiously masturbating”?
Conclusion: People with linux fuck.
People with Linux *rub~
Forget grow by 0.5, we need to grow by 1.8%!
I’m curious about mobile vs desktop.
I’d be curious to compare this with total internet usage shares
The internet penetration rate is 67.4% at this time
That’s an entire 67.4% higher than my penetration rate percentage.
Apple is slipping.
6.9% when?
0,4% of desktop users come form Solaris?
0.0002% come from Plan 9, somehow.
Now adjust it for total market share of the OSs and you’ll arrive at the conclusion, everybody wanks equally.
All the iPhone users can afford OnlyFans.
Or iphone users are only a small percentage of phone users?
This graph isn’t US-centric and Android is a lot more popular in the world. The US is the skewed one here.
jokes aside it’s probably because of US states banning porn sites, and Apple makes up for like 80% of US phones
You’re way off. In November 2024 iOS only made up 56% of the current market share. In October, android and iOS nearly achieved parity with one another.

Worldwide, Android holds 71% of the market share. I wonder if this will change if and when Chinese companies gain traction with their own alternative OS’s, though.
Yeah, except the states dumb enough to ban porn only have like 1% of the US population.
I ran this through an AI, so take it with a grain of salt… But the percentage is actually, ostensibly, 24.6%.
That’s more then enough to explain the descrepencies in the data.
Edit: The work ChatGPT showed, in case this is wrong.
Texas: 30.5 million
Florida: 22.6 million
Virginia: 8.7 million
Indiana: 6.8 million
Louisiana: 4.6 million
Mississippi: 2.9 million
Arkansas: 3.0 million
Utah: 3.4 million
Total population = 82.5 million
The total U.S. population is approximately 335 million.
That’s not true. Texas is the largest state to be affected by the pornhub ban, and Texas makes up 9% of the US population. Including all 12 of the states with pornhub restrictions, the total is actually 24% of the US population. Those are big enough numbers to swing stats.
Now you have to consider which users are more likely to know how to use a VPN on their system and realize that a lot of traffic is being re-routed through other states and countries.
Where are you getting 12 from? I’m seeing 8.
You’re correct, though. As far as I can tell, nearly a quarter of all Americans are geographically blocked from Pornhub (unless they use a VPN).
My source was a map posted to Reddit in July 2024. However after doing more research, Wikipedia reports it is now actually 16 states.
Emphasis mine:
February 2024: the Attorney General of the state of Texas sued Aylo/Pornhub for allegedly not obeying the state’s legal age verification law.[141][142][143] As of March 2024, Pornhub and other Aylo-owned websites have blocked access in Texas, due to the adoption of an age verification law which usually mandates age verification through the use of an identity document. In states where Pornhub is blocked, which also include Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Florida, Nebraska, Indiana, Kansas, Idaho, Kentucky, and Oklahoma; a message is displayed featuring pornstar Cherie DeVille criticizing such laws.[
Maybe those guys watched a lot of porn last year?
How? Id imagine they broke after purchasing their $900 monitor stand
Hypothesis: Pornhub is effected by a lot of the bans in places like Texas. I don’t see ChromeOS or Apple users as the kind of folks who know how to find their ways around those bans, but Windows and Linux users are more likely to via VPNs and such.
I had the same thought! Lol, on reddit I’d lay ideas like this out and get an ocean of “Reeeeee!” in response to it from Apple fans. But I think it’s very true.
Posted above but I will put it here for visibility also.

Affected*. I don’t think special effects are involved.
1 : to cause to come into being
2 a : to bring about often by surmounting obstacles : accomplish effect a settlement of a dispute
b : to put into operation
Effect is a perfectly fine verb. It’s wrong in this case, but it doesn’t imply the use of special effects.
I’ve gotten really good with the weird grammar rules and exceptions, all of the “there, their, they’re” situations, etc. in English, but effect/affect is one that I always second guess myself on for some reason.
I understand that but I wasn’t about to go full English teacher on people. Maybe it’s condescending, but when speaking in public or online, I prefer to explain things in a simplified way that the general public can understand. My girlfriend likes to accuse me of mansplaining; I won’t argue that it is an incorrect assessment.
You say that but I added after effects to the money shot. (It’s confetti).
I see what you mean but it doesn’t take much to download a VPN app and hit the big green button
Possibly a factor, but I don’t think a quarter of Apple users are affected by those bans.
