They are algebra courses and programming tutorials

Pornhub is known worldwide as a video of adult video, but in recent years it is being seen educational material among its pornographic content: algebra classes, mathematics tutorials, Educational Videos on Programming, EXPLAINERS about neuronal networks … Why Pornhub? And not youtube? What does this channel have to attract the disseminators?

CHANGHSU. The case that was first announced is that of this Taiwanese mathematics professor 34 years old that gives classes (in Chinese) of advanced mathematics. He has published more than 200 educational videos on the platform and has made public In interviews How much it earns with them: more than $ 250,000 a year. In this case it is its only content, but there are others more relevant for its intermediate state between the educational and the erotic

Zara Dar. This userfor example, he caught attention with this type of content because it is also an erotic model that has developed his career in Onlyfans and that in Pornhub, however, he has opted for videos with the little erotic titles of ‘What is a loss function in automatic learning?‘ either ‘What is a convex function? – Decrease in gradient part 1‘. Although everyone is around 50,000 visits, they have some that exceed 350,000. Counted to 404Media That your success may be due to the contrast between your videos and the rest of the page (obviously, take a look at your main page, although your videos are safe, it is already extremely NSFW for everything that surrounds them).

Why Pornhub. The question is why the preference for this platform for this type of content is due, and according to Changhsu, it is very simple. Pornhub is one of the most visited websites in the world, with more than 100 million visits per day. This great audience presents a unique opportunity for creators of educational content to reach a much broader audience than on traditional platforms. And since the platform is not segmented by the usual thematic interests, the content can reach users who would not otherwise seek tutorials or classes.

Less restrictions. But there is more: Pornhub does not put any type of restrictions on these contents, which of course would not make sense in terms of censorship, but this benefits them, since It does not make them fall victims of restrictive algorithmswhat is also known as “Filter bubbles“, as would happen on platforms such as YouTube, prone to show less specialized content. In this way, creators can experiment with formats and have no need to enter the games to study the algorithm to” convince you “to show them more spectators.

Brutal shock. According to Changhsuthe contrast to what the Pornhub visitor expects to be essential: there is a deliberate break of social norms and expectations. The appearance of videos of mathematics and science defies these spectatives and resignifies the meaning of virtual space, since it is inevitable to ask: Why should education be restricted to “formal” platforms?

They are not the only ones. Although these are the most famous cases, there is a whole subculture of “safe” videos in Pornhub. They are almost metalinguistic games with expectations and go beyond the merely educational. For example, gameplays of ‘Minecraft’, fetish videos without nudes, conventional interviews with porn actresses, non -erotic parodies using pornographic terms such as hook … unfortunately, many of them were eliminated when The rules of use changed and 10 million videos of unregistered users were eliminated. In that raid With legitimate intentions (Pursuing child pornography), unfortunately, one of the most curiously ironic phenomena of modern Internet fell.
