It's that time of the year again, putting the important parts into review. Kicking it off Pornhub style. Billions of yearly visits with more breakdowns then you ever wanted to know or could shake a stick at on a per country level.

It seems only a brave editor is willing to promote this story, but as I think I was the guy who submitted the 2017 equivalent, which was both amusing and informative, I have no problem picking out some highlights. Some redactions have been necessary to keep SN SFW, obviously -- FP.

All that high definition video means a lot of data gets pumped out by Pornhub’s servers every day. In 2018, we transferred [redacted] Petabytes of data, which equates to [redacted] per second. That’s more bandwidth than the entire internet consumed in [redacted]!

When they’re not busy watching videos, Pornhub’s users enjoy socializing, with nearly [redacted] private messages sent and [redacted] video comments left. The most often used words in Pornhub comments include lots of feel good terms such as [redacted]. More than [redacted] people took the time to vote for their favorite videos, which incidentally is more people than [redacted].

Every minute, [redacted] new visitors arrive at Pornhub, [redacted] videos are watched and [redacted] searches are performed. [redacted] of those video views are of [redacted], which is still Pornhub’s most watched video of all time at [redacted] views.

    All that high definition video means a lot of data gets pumped out by Pornhub’s servers every day. In 2018, we transferred eleventy Petabytes of data, which equates to many bits per second. That’s more bandwidth than the entire internet consumed in 1901!

    When they’re not busy watching videos, Pornhub’s users enjoy socializing, with nearly-private messages sent and inane video comments left. The most often used words in Pornhub comments include lots of feel good terms such as kittens, puppies, and rainbows. More than 2 people took the time to vote for their favorite videos, which incidentally is more people than 2.

    Every minute, random new visitors arrive at Pornhub, low-quality videos are watched and embarrassing searches are performed. 80% of those video views are of kittens playing in a cardboard box, which is still Pornhub’s most watched video of all time at -2147483648 views.
