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.

    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
