Yes, the 45 most watched videos. They also analyse the metadata of millions of related videos. The headline is of course not the whole study. What do you think might be a better headline? I would welcome a debate on the basis of that one.

> Well, there is.

Yes, that's a tautology.

i don't think you've established a rationale for the discussion you are hoping for.

Which represents what percentage of pornography watching? Or rather: what fraction of a percent of pornography watching?

Well, "90% of pornography" is millions of videos. So at the very least, the material difference between them is again, literally millions of videos.

It's a 200 page report written in French. I have no idea.
