    It’s real generous of these states to boost business for VPN companies like this

        Wait, what the heck. Why does that graph look so much like an ECG?

          The spike is first thing in the morning, before work. The gradual increase is home after work. The later it gets, the higher the consumption.

          I did some data analysis a few years ago on porn consumption for a project at work. People are insanely addicted.

              Not without violating a bunch of NDAs. Lookup Sandvine and Deepfield. There are other companies that do traffic identification too.

              If you’re just curious about what I worked on, ask away and I’ll answer what I can.

            Im just shocked because this can really pass for some crappy smart watch ECG tracing. I see what resembles P waves, then the QRST is spot on, really.

            Maybe it’s in the morning, when 3rd shift gets off (ayyyy) and then rises as the majority of people don’t work 3rd shift?

              That came up on discussions. Maybe, but not enough info to know with any certainty that it was post night shift wanking. That was a fun conversation with executives.

      I think most people, by far, don’t know how to use (or want to pay for) a VPN. What they’ll do is use one of the other porn sites. There are probably dozens! And it will push sites to operate outside of US and ignore our dumb state laws.

        At this point vpns are popular enough and have enough ads about them that most people will be able to look up ‘free vpn’ on the app store and download the first one that comes up. They’re not difficult to use at all
