Why would the list be done by early afternoon? Wouldn't it make more sense to post the top searches of valentine's day after they are all in? For all I know people looking at porn before noon could be in the minority and these results would be completely overshadowed by later searches.

I always wonder what the actual statistical significance of these maps are. They always seem random, and it'd make sense if it's essentially the same mix of a little of everything everywhere.

I believe the main purpose of releasing them is to generate publicity for their company that they might not be able to get otherwise in more mainstream media. Much like how the legal brothels in Nevada put out press releases about how they’re offering free services to first responders who helped on a recent disaster or something like that. It gets people talking about them and spreads awareness about their offerings.

Pornhub actually has a pretty good blog that goes into detail on all kinds of trends. You might find answers there.

You'll find your answer in the gray text above the map.

Indiana, I hope we never meet again

I find it hard to believe that all the search terms are different in each state…

At least some people still think about their lonely grandmas.

Alaska? What's occurring?

Those passionate Minnesotans!

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

That all really tracks, especially Rhode Island

Wife? Do they not have their own wife?

I would guess that it is mostly single people responsible for these statistics

when compared to others

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

This map is useless without a p value. This could all be random noise.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

We also need pp, v, b and a values.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah. IDK what is meant by a P value but I agree that I suspect the methodology used to create this is designed to make the data more interesting than it really is.

As in, how much more frequently is "enema" searched for in Alaska than elsewhere, and are there more vanilla terms like "college" which occur more frequently in Alaska than elsewhere.

[–] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

What’s up with Alaska?

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't understand why they would be different. Why does the state line dictate what kink a population is into?

[–] Dragon@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"Top relative" probably means the search term which is the highest relative to other states, so them being different is built into the concept.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Makes sense. It's not very interesting if every state was "trans pegging".
