Pornhub increased its traffic by 21% during the time YouTube was down

The adult website Pornhub publishes that during the fall of YouTube the traffic to the web increased by 21% and also reveals the most searched terms.

It is not something that happens regularly, but YouTube stopped offering service for about an hour. This event without major relevance and which makes it clear that any service is susceptible to being out of the network due to technical problems, has a second reading. The adult website Pornhub has provided curious information and that is that during the time that the video platform par excellence fell, the adult page received an increase in visits of up to 21%

YouTube crash causes views to Pornhub to increase 21%

This happened at dawn from Tuesday to Wednesday and I catch most of the Spaniards sleeping, but even so there are many other countries and the graph is devastating. During the time that YouTube stopped operating, visits to Pornhub skyrocketed and when the most popular video service on the network returned, it recovered the lost visits, even affecting Pornhub traffic, which fell considerably in those later minutes.

Well, it is to some extent an important curiosity, but it is that the thing has even more edges and these are the most random. It appears that some of the bounced YouTube users searched the adult website, as if it were the video platform itself. So much so that videos of Fortnite, Pokémon, Overwatch or Minecraft were searched, in addition to searching YouTube and Twitch within the adult content web.

The truth is that this data is the craziest thing we can throw at our faces, but it doesn't mean much either. It is possible that part of the YouTube traffic also went to Twitch, Facebook or Twitter, among other platforms, although the data shown by Pornhub is still curious.
