Hypothesis: Pornhub is effected by a lot of the bans in places like Texas. I don't see ChromeOS or Apple users as the kind of folks who know how to find their ways around those bans, but Windows and Linux users are more likely to via VPNs and such.
I had the same thought! Lol, on reddit I'd lay ideas like this out and get an ocean of "Reeeeee!" in response to it from Apple fans. But I think it's very true.
Posted above but I will put it here for visibility also.
Texas is the largest state to be affected by the pornhub ban, and Texas makes up 9% of the US population. Including all 12 of the states with pornhub restrictions, the total is actually 24% of the US population. Those are big enough numbers to swing stats.
Now you have to consider which users are more likely to know how to use a VPN on their system and realize that a lot of traffic is being re-routed through other states and countries.
Affected*. I don't think special effects are involved.
1 : to cause to come into being
2 a : to bring about often by surmounting obstacles : accomplish effect a settlement of a dispute
b : to put into operation
Effect is a perfectly fine verb. It's wrong in this case, but it doesn't imply the use of special effects.
I've gotten really good with the weird grammar rules and exceptions, all of the "there, their, they're" situations, etc. in English, but effect/affect is one that I always second guess myself on for some reason.
I understand that but I wasn't about to go full English teacher on people. Maybe it's condescending, but when speaking in public or online, I prefer to explain things in a simplified way that the general public can understand. My girlfriend likes to accuse me of mansplaining; I won't argue that it is an incorrect assessment.
You say that but I added after effects to the money shot. (It's confetti).
I see what you mean but it doesn’t take much to download a VPN app and hit the big green button
Possibly a factor, but I don't think a quarter of Apple users are affected by those bans.
