that the entire userbase of said products is stupid, lives under a rock somewhere and has never been exposed long enough to the internet to have used google.

which, frankly, seems like a pretty silly supposition.

but since we’re busy mongering conspiracy theories, here’s mine on why bing is spiking:

it’s image and video search features just plain google right out of the water.

and that pretty much translates out to ‘porn, porn, porn and more porn’, which is kinda what makes the intertubes go around, anyway.

but i can kinda understand why people would rather stick to their old ‘microsoft is evil’ trope rather than say ‘porno is doing it.’
