Dubs vs subs, found out the actual numbers behind the debate

I was bored last night and wondered how many people actually watch anime dubbed compared to subbed. So I dug into some streaming data from a few sites, not official but fan-run polls plus Crunchyroll's own numbers they shared at an expo. Turns out subs are still way ahead globally, like 70/30 split, but the US is almost 50/50 now for newer shows. I thought dub fans were a tiny minority but it's basically half the English speaking audience. That really surprised me because every forum thread I see is all subs all the way. Has anyone else seen different stats or noticed the shift in their own friend group?
