YouTuber Zara Dar, who recently made headlines for quitting her PhD to become an adult content creator on OnlyFans, revealed she’s now uploading her STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) videos to adult video platforms like Pornhub. In December last year, Zara announced that she had left her doctorate program to focus on OnlyFans. However, she has now shared on LinkedIn and X (formerly known as Twitter) that she uploads the same STEM videos on both YouTube and Pornhub—and surprisingly earns more from Pornhub.
“People may not know this, but I publish the same STEM videos on both YouTube and Pornhub. While YouTube generally generates more views, the ad revenue per 1 million views on @Pornhub is nearly three times higher,” Dar wrote in a post on X.
She shared screenshots of one of her videos on neural networks, uploaded four months ago. The video received nearly a million views on YouTube and 32,000 views on Pornhub. Despite the lower view count, Zara claimed she earned $1,000 per million views on Pornhub, compared to just $340 on YouTube.
In another post (on X and LinkedIn), she compared ad revenues earned per view on YouTube versus Pornhub. While the post went viral on LinkedIn, it also led to her account being blocked.
She wrote “I shared the same post on X and LinkedIn comparing the ad revenue I typically earn per view on YouTube versus Pornhub, where I upload my STEM videos. While the post went semi-viral on LinkedIn with many Top Voices reaching out to me, my account was unexpectedly blocked without prior notice!”
