I'm struggling to understand why you think the title is misleading. Could you elaborate on your rationale to help me understand? 🙂

Do you perhaps have an alternative title that you would suggest? Would you be satisfied by something like, for example, "Pornhub saw a 22.4% increase in Linux traffic (from [e.g.] 5% to ~6%) over 2025"?

    Sure! As is currently written, it gives the first impression (to me, at least) that the traffic share of Linux has jumped from x% to (x+22)%. Now I understand that this is subjective, but I believe that's how many people would read it at first glance as well.

    Again, there's nothing technically inaccurate about it, but the 22% number there is imo distracting and tends to lead to misunderstandings. I would personally write it as "Pornhub sees Linux traffic share increase from 5% to 6% (22.4% increase) over 2025"
