What Is "PornHub"?
"As of December, PornHub was the largest and most popular porn site in the world. In 2020 they reported 47 billion visits to the site. That's 130 million visits per day. In 2019, they had 6.8 million videos uploaded to that one site. It would take you 169 years to watch the content uploaded to PornHub in one year."
