Sites like Pornhub, YouPorn and RedTube attract more users than TMZ and the Huffington Post. The porn sites are even bigger than Pirate Bay, the top portal for illegal downloads of movies, TV shows and music.
2009 August 10, Ben Fritz, “Tough times in the porn biz”, in Los Angeles Times, page B3Only 1 in 24,000 PornHub^([sic]) searches by men are explicitly for preteens; that may have something to do with the fact that PornHub,^([sic]) for obvious reasons, bans all forms of child pornography and possessing it is illegal.
2017, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, Everybody Lies: What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are, Bloomsbury Publishing, →ISBN, page 121With each horrifying news story lately, my husband has taken to asking, “Is it time for the abbey?” We talk about living in the (nonexistent) caretaker’s cottage, raising our son up in fresh air, far from the evils of corrupt politicians and Pornhub.
2017 December 21, J. Courtney Sullivan, “Get Me to a Nunnery”, in The New York Times, archived from the original on 09 Nov 2020I’m surprised by how quickly I have become a home obsessive. I trawl Facebook Marketplace at every hour of the day for bargains, like a teenager who has just discovered Pornhub. All my targeted online ads have flipped from dating apps and activewear to rugs and midcentury dining tables I can’t possibly afford (but will definitely click on anyway).
2020 May 27, Josephine Tovey, “Our homes have become our whole world – and now I'm obsessed with changing mine”, in The Guardian, archived from the original on 02 Jul 2020A second, untitled horror movie was described in Variety as “a late-night boat ride turns into a desperate fight for survival in New York City when a mischievous mouse becomes a monstrous reality”. Let’s hope PornHub^([sic]) doesn’t see an angle here.

plural Pornhubs

The lewd lesson in question also included Michelangelo's Creation of Adam painting and Botticelli's Birth of Venus. By that thinking, I guess all the breasts and bottoms on display make the Sistine Chapel the Pornhub of the 16th century.

As invasive as the Googles and Pornhubs of the world having access to our most private searches may be, it does occasionally give us a wider, more accurate view of ourselves. Can you imagine a Gallup poll on pornogaphic habits? Probably not.
2013 July 24, Mark Wilson, “Infographic: Mapping The United States By Its Porn Searches”, in Fast Company, archived from the original on 20 Mar 2021Addressing Twitter's inability to rein in pornographic content, DisinfoLab has compiled a report on its lax policy, which fails to keep a check on objectionable videos that can be easily accessible on the platform. Calling Twitter the "PornHub"^([sic]) of social media, the report said that videos of child pornography and even rape are available freely on the platform despite its publicised stance of "zero tolerance."

Origin
From porn (“pornography”) + hub (“a central facility providing a range of related services”), so-called because the website hosts pornographic videos; but Pornhub was originally part of a parent company called Interhub, which may have potentially inspired its name. Coined by founder Matt Keezer in May 2007. The noun sense is derived from the prominence of Pornhub.
