Don't understand why this was flagged/killed. Just because it's about porn? It's a bit long but I'd say it meets all the quality standards and does bear some relevance. Pornhub collects and analyzes a staggering amount of user data — some of which it uses, like those other companies, to help curate content and determine what a user sees. Pornhub also publicizes some of its anonymized findings on the company’s data-analytics blog, Pornhub Insights.

It doesn't really have much insight. A woman watches porn and writes about her experiences on it. Pornhub does statistics and it isn't really explored in depth in the article.

  I disagree. It has lots of interesting insight into what those statistics mean and how they've evolved. Surprised HN is so easily censored by a single prude.
