The company as eventually purchased by German businessman Fabian Thylmann in 2010. And became a part of the Manwin pornography conglomerate. (A company which has also changed and is now known as MindGeek). Essentially, Pornhub’s role in MindGeek is to provide pornographic content.

Over the years, Pornhub has grown to become the top-notch adult content platform on the Internet. The company has managed to fend off competition from a slew of other sites.

Through expert marketing and a growing catalogue of content to choose from. It has provided men and women with quite a lot of options to choose from as far as entertainment and pleasure are concerned.

There are a lot of reasons why Pornhub is so popular, and all of these have contributed immensely to the growth of the company.

Content numbers are insane. 

The first will have to be the repertoire of content that the platform has. Apart from various categories (we will get to that later for sure), the pure amount of content that they have is also crazy. Earlier this year, Popular Mechanics revealed that Pornhub transferred 4,403 petabytes of data; not megabytes or gigabytes, mind you.

When a person gets on to Pornhub, they are met with a slew of content that can last them a lifetime. That’s the point. A lot of us are into sex, and for those who will like to indulge in porn, the platform has way more than enough content to keep you hooked for the rest of your life. 

Pornhub has done quite a lot of work in philanthropy as well. Ever since 2012, the company has hosted several events and campaigns to improve awareness of various issues and to raise money to support causes.

In 2012, the company held the “Boob Bus,” a special event in New York City where a tour bus travelled through several landmarks in the city. The event was intended to raise breast cancer awareness by providing free exams to passers-by, as well as to teach people how to conduct some natural self-examination methods while at home. Dr Richard Shafer, a plastic surgeon, was present for this, and the cheerleader was a famous porn star, Bree Olson.
