22.4% of 5% base, so in actuality a 1% increase. While the title is technically accurate, it's very misleading.

Nah mate, it's very much exactly what it says. A ambiguous statement would be "Share of Linux devices on pornhub grew by 22.5%" which could be either in relative or absolute terms. Traffic increase is pretty much number of requests made from a Linux machine grew by 22.5%.
