Much like Google’s Year in Search and Twitter’s Year in Review, PornHub has also decided to wrap up 2018 with its annual ‘Year In Review’ report. And just like every year, PornHub has poured over a ton of data crowing the biggest trends of 2018.
A majority of PornHub’s traffic came from the US, the UK, and India. Yes, India remained in third place in terms of nations with the most daily traffic to PornHub. Thanks to the recent porn ban in India, this number may or may not change next year. But PornHub has already created an alternate domain name for Indian users, so we’ll see how it goes.
PornHub’s top searches are influenced by mainstream media and pop culture events. So PornHub saw a surge in ‘Fortnite’ searches in 2018. The report noted that ‘Fortnite’ skyrocketed to one of its Top 20 searches of the year. In fact, PornHub says that people would search Fortnite every time a new season or character was released.
UHD videos, as we all know, are very heavy when it comes to file sizes. And more the UHD videos means a ton of data gets pumped out by PornHub’s servers every day. According to PornHub, a total of 4403 Petabytes of data was transferred in 2018. That number, if you’re counting, equates to 147 Gigabytes per second worth of porn.
