>When Pornhub and other porn sites can deliver orders of magnitude more data across the world with much simpler systems, you know it's all bullshit

When is that, exactly? https://www.statista.com/chart/15692/distribution-of-global-...

What is the methodology of the report?

Just one of the questions I have regarding this -- China has nearly 1.4 billion people, and barely any of them use any of the services here. Instead, they have their own video platforms. And you tell me that none of those platforms use at least the same amount of traffic of Prime Video? I doubt it.

I found the report the statistic is from [0]. But note that it says "by app," so I don't think it's actually all traffic, just the top apps. Their reported source is data from 300m customers in different regions.

“Other” in your diagram is mostly porn
Even supposing that "Other" is just pornhub and nothing else, that's less than one order of magnitude more than Netflix.
isn't it like 30%?
