>Why? A given viewer is going to watch how many minutes of content a day? Even accepting for a wide spectrum of preferences, there's no reason PornHub needs three hours of new content a minute.
I assume because not all pornographic content is equal and that much of it never gets seen or opened for a few seconds only to be abandoned.
- ocdtrekkie 7y agoWith an adequate moderation strategy and proper vetting of channels, most low value content is going to evaporate. I'm not sure why a site getting two hours of new unwatched low quality video a minute is a selling point to anyone. It's probably not even that great of a business model.
- Ghjklov 7y agoThis is mere conjecture but, wouldn't you spend more time on PornHub if there was so much crap to browse through to find the perfect video to get off to, as opposed to finding it right away and then leaving the website as soon as you finish?
- ocdtrekkie 7y agoTrue, though that's a very perverse incentive, as you're suggesting PornHub's best bet is to waste as much of their users' time as possible in getting to the right video, without frustrating them enough that they leave the site and go elsewhere. I suppose they'd get more search-page-result ad displays in, but arguably it makes them a worse porn site. The fact that they're the by-far most popular suggests that they don't provide a worse experience than other sites. (I know PornHub releases a lot of statistics annually, I am sure average time for a user to... achieve their goal on the site for the day... is a figure they have released before.)
