Zara Dar’s decision to leave her PhD program launched her on an unexpected career path. She’s now combining her passion for adult content creation with education in videos she posts to Pornhub, where they’re very popular.
One of her videos, a six-minute explainer of integrals, has garnered traction with over 500,000 views and an 87% positive rating.
“I have to say, as an aerospace engineering student, that you have explained the usefulness of integrals better than my university professor,” one viewer commented, as reported by 404 Media.
Her Pornhub channel features other academic content like “What is a Neural Network?” and “Intuitive Approach to Understanding Probability,” alongside more typical pornographic content typically on the site.
With more than $1 million in earnings from her OnlyFans content, Dar’s Pornhub videos have diversified her reach.
She told 404 Media that Pornhub pays more per million views, $1,000, than YouTube, which pays $340.
When asked why her educational content is gaining so much attention, Dar responded, “I’m not entirely sure, but it could be because my SFW videos stand out against the typical NSFW content on the platform. That contrast might make them more intriguing or refreshing to viewers.”
Despite her success, Dar has faced backlash. After posting about her work on LinkedIn, her account was reportedly banned.
Dar’s career move comes amidst a broader debate about the accessibility of porn sites. On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments over a Texas law requiring explicit websites to verify user ages. At the heart of the debate is whether the law violates First Amendment protections.
The law applies to sites where more than a third of the content could be deemed harmful to minors. It mandates verification measures to confirm users are 18 or older. While other states have introduced similar legislation, Texas is the first to bring its case before the Supreme Court.
Justice Samuel Alito drew an interesting parallel during the session, likening modern platforms like Pornhub to old Playboy magazines while questioning the diversity and nature of their content. As the Court deliberates, the outcome could set a precedent for balancing online safety and free speech.
This isn’t the first time Pornhub has come under regulatory fire. In a scathing 2020 op-ed, Nicholas Kristof exposed Pornhub for hosting deeply disturbing content, including rape videos and child exploitation.
Kristof reported harrowing cases, such as a Florida mother discovering 58 videos of her missing 15-year-old daughter on the site and a 14-year-old Californian girl’s assault footage being uploaded. Despite arrests of perpetrators involved, Pornhub reportedly evaded accountability while profiting from the uploads.
Back in 2020, Pornhub dismissed the allegations as “irresponsible and flagrantly untrue.” However, in response to the op-ed, the platform introduced a verification process and disabled its download feature, according to the BBC.
