      They’re not even necessarily visiting for the videos described in the article. That’s total visitors to the site.

        Not visitors. Visits. If one person views 15 pages, that’s 15 visits. If Google crawls the site, that’s thousands or tens of thousands of visits. If Bing, Yahoo, and a dozen other bots and scrapers do the same, that’s a good fraction of the 62m. And if even one person visits the site but doesn’t watch any videos, that’s still at least one visit.

        It’s very, very far from “62m men attended an online rape academy”.
