Reminds me of that woman who made science videos on both YouTube and Pornhub and she makes more money on Pornhub.

    If I'm remembering correctly it was more money per view on pornhub but she had significantly more views on YouTube so the total amount per platform was still significantly in YouTube favor.

    Still wild that a porn site theoretically pays better than Google.

    I have no clue how common adblock is among YouTube users, but there's probably a bigger chunk of pornhub viewers on mobile.

    Pornhub is also in an unique place, given a lot of advertisers won't advertise there. Pushing prices down, but simultaneously a different set of advertisers can only advertise there. Pushing the price up. I have absolutely no clue whether or not pornhub charge more per ad view than Google ad services on average
