As with the other guy, I think we probably agree more than we disagree. I just disagree with blanket claims that porn is the primary reason people (primarily men) use the internet.

Obviously it gets a huge amount of use. So does news, Netflix, Spotify/Pandora, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, tiktok, etc., and by and large their cumulative usage far outstrips porn by most metrics.

If I was twenty, I'd probably say it's totally obvious porn is A-#1. Personal experience is no substitute for actual data, at least if you're making specific claims about X, Y, or Z.
Except the data shows that porn is huge - and that there are more porn sites on the net than any other type of site.

And, as many are “underground “, there are probably even more than we know.

[[citation needed]], particularly since you suggest data shows that there are more porn sites on the net than any other type of site.

Or less, by definition. "Probably" isn't data.
 
Actually, never mind, this has been going in circles. The gulf between facts and "I think this is true" is too wide to keep trying to reach it.
 
Literally based on analysis of "several dozen adult websites". Please explain how this supports either of the two claims you made.
Yeah... the abstract was hidden in the first paragraph of the article... might want to read it...

Abstract—Adult (or pornographic) websites attract a large
number of visitors and account for a substantial fraction of
the global Internet traffic. However, little is known about the
makeup and characteristics of online adult traffic. In this paper,
we present the first large-scale measurement study of online
adult traffic using HTTP logs collected from a major commercial
content delivery network. Our data set contains approximately
323 terabytes worth of traffic from 80 million users, and includes
traffic from several dozen major adult websites and their users
in four different continents. We analyze several characteristics
of online adult traffic including content and traffic composition,
device type composition, temporal dynamics, content popularity,
content injection, and user engagement. Our analysis reveals
several unique characteristics of online adult traffic. We also
analyze implications of our findings on adult content delivery.
Our findings suggest several content delivery and cache per-
formance optimizations for adult traffic, e.g., modifications to
website design, content delivery, cache placement strategies, and
cache storage configurations.


Note how it's based on 323 TB of traffic from 80 million users in 4 different continents?

And, as I already pointed out, it was an analysis of "several dozen adult websites". That is directly from the "Main findings".

It literally does not, in any way, support your claim that "there are more porn sites on the net than any other type of site."

At this point I think I'm being trolled.

"Erman et al. studied video traffic in a large 3G cellular network and reported that adult content accounts for approximately 15% of total mobile video traffic."
Page 2 (89) of the report....

If you read more, you'll note that porn is big... not trolling... just giving the data you requested...

Here's an even better paper showing that porn gets more visits than netflix, amazon tiktok etc...

Again... even if you don't believe something is true, doesn't mean it isn't.

Honest question: do you not understand the difference between your claim that "there are more porn sites on the net than any other type of site" and a study of iterations of traffic and visit counts on several dozen adult websites, that does not claim, that, again, "there are more porn sites on the net than any other type of site"?

And that second source's findings are based on data from three, followed by different findings from four porn sites. Period. That also does not support your claim that "there are more porn sites on the net than any other type of site". They literally make no such claim and made no such investigation.
