Are you guys interested in these kind of stats? I already provide some other (game related) reddit communitites with stats and thought it could be also interesting for more general statistics about all piracy sections. Please let me know if you have ideas about interesting stats, I'll see if I can make it happen.

Enjoy the numbers!

TOTAL SCENE RELEASES BY SECTION

I have a total of 77 sections in my PreDB. The sections in here are combined for a better overview. Numbers in brackets show the change to the values relative to the previous year.

total	section
238.311 (-9.154)	TV (HD)
171.114 (-2.408)	MP3
56.891 (+36.613)	FLAC
52.172 (+15.819)	EBOOK
46.860 (-616)	XXX
28.758 (+7.976)	MOViES (HD)
26.297 (-6.938)	TV (SD)
18.561 (+567)	DOCU
15.287 (+8.014)	ANiME
9.986 (-2.370)	SPORTS
7.548 (+654)	MOViES (SD)
6.861 (+6.171)	APPS
6.835 (+3.542)	GAMES (PC)
4.415 (-6.701)	ABOOK
3.369 (+123)	GAMES (CONSOLE)
2.548 (-550)	MViD
1.210 (-1500)	BOOKWARE
47 (+37)	OTHER

Total: 697.070 scene releases in 2023

So, biggest increases to 2022 would be FLAC music releases, EBOOK's, ANiME, GAMES (PC) and MOViES (HD). Huge losses on ABOOK's, BOOKWARE and TV (SD). The APPS section may be faulty for 2022, have to check the data.

ACCUMULATED RELEASE SIZE FOR 2023

From the 697.070 scene releases, 454.037 of them have file + size information.

They total to: 754.73 TB (754.729.230 MB) in 8.3 million files (8.280.197).

No idea about the size of the missing information, so the real value should be much higher.

NOTES

Only Scene Release Groups, no p2p or individuals.

You can read more about nukes here (also linked on the top of the post).

TLDR A release can get nuked for different reasons:

Not compliant to official scene rules
Dupe (means: another group was faster)
Not working (Game crack doesn't work)
Etc.

Practically "Nuked" means "don't spread" to other servers and "disgrace" for the release group ;)

Another example:
A group with a lot of releases have a higher chance of getting more nukes.

AFO had 22.576 releases and 256 nukes.
I checked the nukes and most of them are so called "dupe" nukes. That means, another group released the same "thing" before them. So the other group won the race.

Why would the scene need two versions of the same thing? That's wasted space on the harddrive, so the later release gets nuked. That's what happened a lot to AFO in 2023. Another group was just faster

Thanks, I wouldn’t have asked if I saw it at the top of the post my eyes glazed over that.
