Client-side JS surpasses porn in global traffic stats

Pornography has been the top contributor to Internet traffic for a long time. This month another type of morally questionable content had surpassed porn and became the top contributor to global traffic: client-side javascript code.

The achievement is widely celebrated by front end developers, who generally believe this is just the beginning. Even though the porn industry is moving towards 4K streaming, which increases the transfer sized significantly, web developers believe they have an upper hand and will come out on top anyway.

Unlike human sex, which has an inherent goal of finishing the act, JavaScript does not have this silly requirement and can load indefinitely, without ever finishing.
