Do most viewers really care at all about the “script” and instead click on the first video that has someone they find attractive doing the sexual act they want to see?
If I’m right in my assumption about most “tube viewers”, I wonder how much of the “conclusions” made from the data set provide false conclusions due to confirmation bias. If they think folks want to see [insert script narrative] and so they make more videos of that, just because it had lots of views doesn’t mean that more folks wanted to see that specific narrative IMHO.
To the extent analytics are used, I think search analytics are probably influential (certainly, the press releases pornhub regularly puts out about what people are searching for advertises that they have this data available, so I'd be very surprised if it wasn't for sale and used by content creators/distributors). And is suspect that search data provides a lot more information about why people watch particular videos than just view data and assumptions.
