    Somewhere between 4 porn sites and 30 million porn sites is quite the hedged bet.

    I feel confident saying that there’s at least 6 of them.

      I think the figure was that almost half of the traffic on the internet was related to porn sites.

      I have no idea if there is any updated stats for that.

      I suppose you could surveil a major internet node and check all DNS requests to estimate how much traffic is “porn related” overall.

    The number does not surprise me, the percentage of total traffic does. I figured it would be much higher.

    I am only really familiar with those owned by Aylo as well as XNXX and XVideos. Are there good reasons to use any others? If so which ones?

      Internet pornography or online pornography is any pornography that is accessible over the [Internet primarily via websites FTP connections, peer-to-peer file sharing or Usenet newsgroups.

      So I willing to bet the reason to use any other then what you identified is for really nasty shit.

    No citation for that number, I wonder how they came to it.

    4 million sites for a global population of 8 billion means 1/2000. That doesn’t sound sustainable.
