Title: Are people disappearing ?
Post by: tp4tissue on Mon, 20 April 2020, 20:41:24

Just some observations of the common web-traffic Tp4 monitors.

There's about a 50-80% drop in the coming and goings of an otherwise extremely steady stream (for many many years).


Haven't read anything about downed net coverage, or people losing service.

They've consumed all of the content on youtube, netflix, and pornhub and no longer have the need for packets.

I think it depends on the site quite a bit.
Steam, Youtube and Netflicks have all seen massive increases, I can easily see an inverse for certain other sites, few are booking hotels and flights right now.

Many people browse while 'working', if they're now home looking after little people they won't be?
