I have to admit, of all the nations on earth, I never expected this sort of puritanical theatrical authoritarianism out of the french.
The percentages of respondents in surveys on infidelity answering “not a moral issue” from France are a bit of a cultural difference (from Australian perspective, anyway)
Blocking porn has got to be the most “why even bother” thing
Politically speaking, it’s easy money. You pander to the conservatives with blocking propositions, get votes.
*Who is going to champion the flip side?!"
I hate how VPN access is the scaffolding holding the building up making things look normal. You can visit all your normal web sites, you can bypass georestrictions, you can be a little less tracked than you might otherwise be. But what happens when they decide to do away with that scaffolding and we all find out they tore down the house behind it while we were enjoying “normalcy”. Too much of making the web functional depends on vpns and adblocking. We shouldn’t have to do this stuff and Chromes adblocking scandle should impact millions of users all around the world unilaterally removing adblocking from the web. I fear for the day we have a US only internet and a global internet, not just on paper, but in actual practice.
How about you just parent your children? But it’s not about the children, that’s just always the convenient excuse
At first I suspected this was the French government demanding that 40% of the videos be made in europe using the French language.
Why do the French even need Pornhub when their basic movies are very porn adjacent?
There are other, much better sites, lol.
go on…
Pervertube. Thisvid. Motherless.
I just realized indicating these websites might have revealed a little too much about the kinds of porn I like to watch. ☹️
Absolute degeneracy, thank you.
Whoa. I haven’t heard of Pervertube. I have specific tastes involving a dirty mattress with no sheet or at least one overflowing ashtray.
NEW PORN!!!1!!!1!!!
Which one pops the “you are leaving the trans section to go the straight section, are you sure?”
I really don’t think I should be called out just because I like straight porn.
spankbang, xvideos, eporner…
hmm those equivalent, I would not call them better
Spankbang alone blows PornHub out of the water in my opinion. So does Xvideos. I guess it depends what you’re into? I don’t like all of the incest shit on PornHub.
It’s wincest. Especially if it features little people.
I see… and agree. In my world PornHub seems to be the most famous but I rarely visit.
Seeing some “unexplored” options with all the suggestions here hehehe
As a «produced porn» enjoyer…
Usenet Stashdb Local stash instance
Treat porn like you do tv shows :p
I don’t really care for home video stuff
Why do people even go to pornhub… there are so many other options
Because it’s simple and it works. When most people want to watch porn they don’t spend an hour researching their best option, they just go somewhere they know and watch something there.
The French are totally down with revolution and cigarettes; VPN is a focus for nerd shit; inherently not French.
He said PornHub not Proton
Don’t people realize there are hundreds of free porn video sites besides Pornhub? With bigger selection too because the lesser known sites usually don’t get half their content DMCAed.
Paying money for a VPN just to access ONE free porn site? Sigh. I really hate web 3.0
wtf, france?
this only means that americans dont know about proton vpn
im in california, browsing the internet using proton as i type this.
France underestimated the power of horny
Have you met the French? There’s a bunch of English sex words brought in from French! Most notably is ménage à trois, for a threesome. The smoking a cigarette after sex cliché is pretty French too.
Intrigued by the quarter a day oscillation in that graph… 🤔
I think the oscillation described people’s activity time. Over the course of a day, people who would register for a VPN are much more likely to do so during the evening, because during the day they are busy with work. So you observer on a daily basis a peak like this.
Such charts are very common with services used daily. For example, social media usage in a given region often has a peak during the morning, a big peak during lunch time, and in general goes up after work time.
Of course not everyone works at the same time, but a majority of people have more or less the same work times, so we observe the peaks.
You are right, thanks! I misread the graph and thought it was a 4 cycles per day, which was puzzling me, but is indeed just a daily oscillation
The only real interesting part is that there seems to be no major change in usage over the weekend.
I guess this bodes well for Proton becoming increasingly a Google One products replacement with more users potentially paying
