Sure but there is no reason to think this is made up. They do this every year. What is “juiced”? I see nothing in the data, having read the whole thing, that seems odd, “juiced” or unexpected. it’s in line with what they have produced every year and it normally get wildly cited.
could it be a total lie? Sure. Is there any data to suggest it is a total lie? No.

Under the heading of Pornhub Insights, the website regularly releases information extracted from its archive of searches: in what regions it is most used, female searches vis-à-vis male searches, the most popular search terms by year or area, variations in searches that parallel current events, and the like; in the first half of 2017, the top search term in the US was “hentai”, or that gay male porn ranks as the second most viewed category on the website among female viewers with 37% of searchers in total for the genre being women.[115][116][117] Annually since 2013, it releases a “Year In Review”.[118] Consequently, it has been called “the Kinsey Report of our time”.[119]

One methodological problem with maps like these is VPN use. Do they exclude it?
Also very surprising that it’s apparently inaccessible in quite a few countries (light gray), but Saudi Arabia is not one of those countries.

I gave you a huge reason to think this is made up; pornographers like money. I also like your assertion that just because they are consistent in the questionable data they release to the public that it means the data is beyond reproach.
I’m not saying it is a total lie, I’m saying there is no data to suggest it isn’t. This is equivalent to thinking that this map is accurate:
It’s widely cited in mainstream media and used in academics.
I noticed that too. Not sure if they account for VPN. I would guess not but don’t know.
Edit. Looks like it does not account for VPNs.
Here is a recent paper using the data.

I’ve seen several papers use it but all point out the obvious methodological and sampling limits.

There are many others. Anyway, this isn’t a debate. You are objectivity wrong but don’t have the honesty to admit it so carry on.
A stark reminder to keep these bunz out of Peru

Definitely not, given that Turkey banned porn sites years ago and PH apparently has data on its users from there.

Not neccesarily how a VPN works. I use my VPN to access pirating sites that are blocked in Australia but to that site I am still located in Australia. The VPN is still hosted in Sydney but site blocking is done on ISP level so you avoid that.
