So just to clarify - the 62 million visitors were in one month, as Snopes makes clear.

However as you say 62 million visits in internet terms is a nonsense and not equivalent to unique visitors. Such metrics count every page hit so 1 user browsing through pages in one visit will count as multiple visits, and that user may return multiple times.

And the biggest piece of information is that this is a general porn site, with 100 categories of porn. As snopes says "Examples include "blonde," "skinny" and "webcam" โ€” among many others." So we don't actually know who viewed this particular category.

CNN did a decent investigation particularly as they found a telegram group with 1000 users, but the porn site stuff has been misreported by other outlets. We live in an era of slop journalism where people just steal content from the source and make crap poorly researched content from it, or spread stupid rumours.
