The first banner ad next to that video is for Cumshots: The Game. I begin by clicking the first video that appears in the 'Hot porn videos in the United States' section on Pornhub's homepage, 'TEEN GETS HER YOGA PUSSY LICKED BY MOM'S BFF.' I start my porn game reviewing quest at home as opposed to at VICE's open floor office because I don't know what will unfold on my screen. Conservatively, hundreds of millions of people are confronted, each and every day, with the taunting of an animated woman commanding them not to do what they came to this website to do. Telling me not to cum.Īccording to the TrafficJunky website, these ads rake in three billion impressions a day. It's an ouroboros of advertising money, eating its own dick, endlessly.
All of the ads on Pornhub's network of sites (YouPorn, Redtube, etc) are managed by TrafficJunky, which is owned by Pornhub's parent company, MindGeek. These ads are selling subscriptions to adult game websites. The first thing to know about these games is that they're not exactly free, and that you can't buy them like you buy a game on Steam.
