Nice trying to misquote statistics.. /Edit This was not intentional so that should be noted as updated comment

However, the "62 million" figure cited in social media posts represented the total number of visits to the pornographic website in February 2026

That is not UP UNTIL that month.. that is just in that month..

From just monthly visits you cannot possibly determine the active user count but you can compare it to similar activity sites.

A quick AI Slop Overview gives you The average daily active users for a site with 60 million visits in a month would be approximately 2 million

this is skewed statistics as we want active users not visits so with a bit more refining defining Visits Per User

For adult/porn sites, VPU typically skews higher than general content because users often visit multiple times per day. Reasonable VPU ranges to use for estimates:

Low-engagement assumption: 3–7 visits per month
Moderate-engagement (common): 10–30 visits per month
High-engagement power users: 30–90+ visits per month

Dividing this by 30 (mid numbers) we still get a very high estimate of around 2 Million Monthly Active Users.

For context.. Crunchyroll as a websites average around 10 Million MAU.

In fact, women never said 62 million men were involved in the raping themselves. Women’s concern was that 62 million men were collectively engaged in the crime through their consumption of the content and their failure to report it. They were therefore co-conspirators, enablers, complicit, aiding and abetting the rapists and helping them monetize their crimes.

The real problem is that each month that site gets visits from what is more likely men than women who approve and support this type of behavior. Even if the 62 million is an exaggeration it is extremely disturbing that these visitors are OK with this and helping the actual rapist monetize their crimes.

You’re not wrong, but they just used AI to get 2M daily users from 60M monthly visitors. Which feels silly to me, but it’s just dividing 60M by 30, and it’s not done wrong.

I’m not interested in reading something someone regurgitated from ai, but I won’t hold someone using them for arithmetic against their arguments (but please just use a calculator).

[-] Viceversa@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

There's a double red flag:

  • they used AI in an argument
  • they used it for arithmetic.

To read such a comment further is a waste of time.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Sure, but a red flag is a warning sign, not an automatic rejection (at least in my parlance). They did notice that the original commenter was misinterpreting where 62M comes from and their comment thus brings more clarity to this thread, making it not a waste of time.

[-] Viceversa@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I think we disagree. I find such flaws to poison the whole well.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

If we fully agreed, it would have been unnecessary for me to comment :)

I think it’s pointless and wasteful to use ai to answer questions or provide information like this, but I’ll read a comment written by a human who does, because I see that there is often still something valuable to me there. Others having a different line for their acceptance of AI is to be expected, but I still wanted to point out the use I got out of this comment, in case it prompts others to get use out of comments in the future, in spite of their writers’ use of ai.

Nice trying to misquote statistics..

I wasn't "trying" to do anything. I misread it. Don't automatically apply guilt to people.

I'll update my comment.
