Pornhub Traffic Dropped by 10% the Day Fallout 4 Came Out

[Lufia Erim]

I'd say I'm part of the statistic, butt I've done it since Fallout came out and I don't go to Pornhub. Cause you know, I like my videos to be longer than three minutes.

Back in my dad all we had were dirty magazines. AND WE LIKED IT.!

Please tell me that was a typo.

whoops. That's what i get for trying to write a post in betweem CoD matches.

EDIT: Man im full of fails today

So what you're saying is...Fallout fans are chronic masterbaters?

Good to know!

I wonder what the numbers are on Pornhub traffic during, say, a Call of Duty release. Or maybe during the release of Halo 5, Mass Effect 3, or some other major release. Or even a major sporting event like the Super Bowl, the final of the World Cup, or a LoL/Dota tournament (keeping it gaming related). I'm curious what sort of events cause big swings in user traffic and which barely cause a stir.

Honestly i dont know why someone even bothered to research this

Because the laundry list of issues and game-breaking bugs continues to grow, so they're running out of reasons to praise the game.[footnote]Yes, I'm being a dick. No, I'm only partly being serious. ;D[/footnote]

Likewise. Catch is, I'm completely right- though perhaps phrasing my point poorly. This is not a question (at least on my part) of the scientific method, or indeed of the fundamental nature of reality, but of semantics. "Equals" and "implies" are different words that mean different things. Moving from "correlation implies causation" to "correlation equals causation" is simplifying it ideologically, but not verbally; again, different words that mean different things. If you're looking for concrete proof of a link between two things and start from simple correlative grounds, the sheer number of seemingly random similarities will get you few positive results; I do not for an instant dispute this. Correlation does not equal causation. However, if you reverse the process and look for a correlation in aspects that cause other aspects, you will find a correlation rate of 100% (though not necessarily one that reveals itself with only a casual glance); aspects affect the things they effect. Or, to put it more succinctly, correlation implies causation.

I think I see your confusion. You're using the English vernacular meaning of the word "implies" as a synonym of "suggests". But when people use the phrase "correlation doesn't imply causation", they're using the mathematical definition of the word. In math, if I say that A implies B, I mean that if A is true, then so is B.

So mathematically, saying that correlation implies causation is akin to saying that if two things are correlated, then they must share a causal relationship. This is clearly false, as other posters have demonstrated (remember, it only takes one counterexample to demonstrate something to be false). Since it is possible to be correlated without being causally related, mathematically, saying that correlation implies causation is simply wrong.

wait, Pornhub is the largest porn site? how does one of the worst porn sites become the largest?

Turning on the LHC and experiencing more earthquakes wouldn't suggest that we could predict them; it would suggest that turning on the LHC causes them. Sorry, but I'm right.

You do know we experienced earthquakes before the LHC was turned on yeah?

people were watching porn before Fallout 4 was released too....

Pffffft...noobs and casuals, every one of them. Just get two monitors and masturbate while you play!

:3

 

[Lightknight]

Kid's these days, just can't multitask. Though... with the appropriate mods I can't justifiably say that they were necessarily leaving porn behind while playing FO4...

 

[stormtrooper9091]

I have never ever been to Pornhub

See India, you don't need to ban porn. You just need to make an awesome game.

Before anyone yells at me, it's a joke about when India tried to ban porn earlier this year

Fallout: standing up too quickly after.

It might take a moment but you will say 'yuck.'

I don't get it, explain yourself.

If a woman stands too soon after the deed is done then things have a habit of dripping out of her.

I've heard worse. MUCH worse. Try again.

Very well. How about Fallout: [censored][censored] game box[censored] dripping [censored] [censored] Episcopalian.

Alright I'll be the asshole and say it- we're all adults and we can talk like adults because it's just sex/porn and it isn't a big deal. As an AVID daily user of PornHub, I know I haven't been there since Fallout 4 released. I've been too busy shooting fools as Nora, the mother searching for her son unstuck in time and re-adjusting to her military past to survive in this new world.

Just wanted to mention something. I'm pretty sure that only the husband had a military background. If you chose to be female, you were said to have a law degree.

Oh right, this was supposed to be about porn.

I have a different idea. People that play the PC version of Bethesda games are aware of the debug room, or treasure room, right? Also, they might have heard of the "giveitem" command on the "console" of it, right? Why not have someone attempt to hookup a keyboard to a console (like say, a PS4 or Xbox One), and try to access the "console" from there? Has it ever been attempted before? I'm curious.
