Upvoted you, then realised you probably didn't mean "privacy conscious Linux Wank" as referring to a type of person. Keep the upvote.

I run Windows but my VPN server is Debian.

I think avenue Q said it best, "The internet is for porn".

Sure, PornHub is not the only thing you can do on the Internet. Some of the more formal studies are functionally run by marketing groups, who are likely more skewed to advertising demographics.

Example: the fundamental backbone of the internet upgraded as part of the CERN Large Hadron Collider project construction, to distribute the massive amount research data being generated to scientists across the world - but Cloudflare doesn't count that traffic when preparing it's statistics)

All I'm saying is: you could do a lot worse than PornHub as a research authority for trends in this subject.

Is there anything at all surprising about teenagers using what might be their only computer outside of their phone to access porn?

Have you ever seen any other adult access "the hub" on any operating system?

when I was a kid I would read smut on my 3ds

Many young people grow into adults. Some of them keep their tech through multiple years. :P

She's not using it for porn (that I'm aware of) but my wife got a Chromebook with her last phone. Handy enough little thing.

My Chromebook self-destructed a couple years ago and nearly burned our house down. That thing also was the shortest lived computer I've ever owned.

change in share, not total share. or are you referring to the .2% rounding error?

I think it's relative change and not percentage points, from quick mental math that seems to add up. Very weird choice, maybe trying to inflate the perceived increase in linux users. So it would be a change of a bit more than +1 percentage point for linux.

Percentage vs percentage points!
