It'll be hard to hire engineers, managers, and office workers if they said they worked at Pornhub. But if they worked for mindgeek (or Aylo), it's understood.
People think it's all about dicks and orgies at pornhub but imagine the technical requirements serving millions of videos to visitors a day? There's so much tech behind the scenes that even YouTube started stealing features.
Pornhub is not a porn company. Pornhub is a technology company.
Silicon Valley had a good episode about it. Can't find the exact clip but here is the promo for the episode (slightly NSFW). There's a speaker presentation in it that kinda talks about how porn has pushed technology (to comedic effect).
