i would imagine there are a lot of people without a specific fetish or interest that just click around. like, are there really an appreciable amount of people going to a major porn site, ignoring the front page entirely, and typing “sex” in the search? it’s not like google where there’s just a search bar with these sites. most of every page is clickable “popular/mainstream” content.

so this type of analysis ignores that (probably most common) type of user and focuses only on people who are searching for something specific, which is probably going to be something weirdly specific.
