This is one thing fascinating me on the net. It’s how many people use [insert service here] per whole population compared to other country. Example is pic where more Ukrainians uses Tor Network than British even though former has about 42 million population and latter - 66 million, or how your chances of meeting Swedish user on English speaking forum are higher than meeting Indian one despite enormous population difference. It depends mainly on development of country and English proficiency. See how Scandinavians and Dutch are present in English part of net and how rare it is to encounter Korean or Japanese user with more than 90% Internet penetration in their countries (latter are not even present on JAPANESE BASED SITES)! People with cucked English education that don’t have small population, like Spain or Italy are not that common to spot but Norwegians? Probably we have one or two here, if not more.

No one interested?

There's nothing really unexpected in the data you've provided, unless I'm missing something

Nanonymous No.6429 [D]

>>6428
It's not about data being unexpected, rather how few can be majority - or many be minority. It's not always straightforward that populous country will have most users. On pic Netherlands is not only in top 10 but also has more users than Canada despite having about 2 times less people.
Other mindfucking truth is that Hong Kong at peak had 1/5 of China's GDP http://archivecaslytosk.onion/kKojP "The territory's GDP relative to mainland China's peaked at 27 per cent in 1993, but this has since fallen significantly as the mainland developed and liberalised its economy, declining to less than 3 per cent in 2017". Isn't it fascinating?

Consider the following:
>many nanochan users are using it because it's the closest we have to a truly anonymous imageboard, hence many wont want to talk about where they live
>apart from Tor network metrics, OP gives no real examples of specific sites
It can be interesting, yes. Some of the Tor results are surprising, as is hypothesizing why relatively outstanding results are the case (eg. germany are known for privacy tools likely because many were historically oppressed by the stazi, an event within living memory).

We can only speculate and I'm not interested in getting details about users.
>apart from Tor network metrics, OP gives no real examples of specific sites
Literally any English based imageboard, various torrent sites (both public and private), anime sites, and so on

Sources are shit but if you want (((proofs))) then here we go.
>(eg. germany are known for privacy tools likely because many were historically oppressed
This is what I'm talking about.

I remember back in the day when view statistics were available on every YouTube video. The Anglo-sphere and Scandinavia was always the most represented.

You shouldn't feel bad about being forgotten. Being unknown is a blessing in modern times.

Mutts (what a stupid insult but anyway) get too much analytics attention. I can't think of any current world superpower I would want to live in. Well not until Germany becomes one.

I've seen people online from all of those countries, speaking English, sometimes broken, but enough to understand. While many of those folks can speak English, it probably takes a bit more effort and probably feels like trying to write something with a pen while wearing mitts.

Some of those smaller countries, like Norway, probably use English websites because there's more people there. It's likely that they'll visit local business and news websites, but if they want to do web searches or hobby specific information, they probably need to jump over to the English based Web.

The Endchan is kind of a curiosity of mine in that there are Japs and NatSoc KC there using the same website. I have no idea what they're saying, but it's interesting to see the pictures they're posting.

Learn German.The language is quite similar to English so you it should be easy to learn enough to get the basic idea of what they are saying.For example "good morning" and "guten morgen" is just one of the many similarities which make the language easy to understand.Some more from the top of my head:Makes-Machts,Free-Frei,Gold-Geld,Sun-Sonne,Here-Hier, Have-Hast,Heart-Herz,Mine-Mein

What is more amazing is how small these numbers are.Only 0.01% of people or less use Tor in most countries.That's incredibly low considering how easy it is to download and use tor.I have tried to make people give tor a try irl and they always told me they have nothing to hide.This was coming from people who were tech savvy and at least knew the basics of programming.

Nanonymous No.10094 [D]

Tor may be easy to use, but there's nothing particularly alluring about it to normalfags who don't appreciate what Tor offers.

all those US users are polniggers and other retards reacting to some media to get them to use Tor
still not enough for the final solution (to convert the web into a content-addressable decentralized static website storage)

I don't know shit about mathematics. Whether you are programmer or tech-savvy doesn't matter if you don't think.
