YouPorn team here to answer all your questions. AMA

Any chance YouPorn will sponsor my pussy?

Didn't we already do that?

Can you disable the first 5 second of audio for tracks? Sometimes my phone is a real jerk and won't silence videos until they load in the player and that makes masturbating in the work bathroom a nervous proposition.

Thanks!

*edit: hey geniuses I have an Android phone with a bug that starts the video player with volume up even if the phone is silenced. And headphones means I can't hear when someone comes in. It's like you've never masturbated in a public restroom before!

Never heard that one before, brb, going to bathroom to "trouble shoot" the issue. - Jude

As a business how do you overcome the fact that your product causes blindness and hairy palms in millions of adolescences a year?

Glasses & razors

Do people actually use the facebook share function?

You'd be surprised how often it gets used. - Jude

Could you allow "Timeline" comments like soundcloud, so I could quickly hover over user submitted annotations in the video and see which scenes I want to fast forward to?

It's a cool idea, and definitely technologically possible. We'll have to look into it. Thanks for the idea. - Nic

My professional guess would be Valentines day.

It's actually a slow day for us, but the 15th more than makes up for that. - Jude

What's NSFW for you at work?

Cute cat videos. So like 1/2 of reddit. - Jude

When you remove a video, do you actually remove it, or do you keep it in your shoebox underneath your bed?

Can I have it when you die?

They get deleted entirely, sorry. - Ryan

What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen uploaded to your site?

What is your favorite type of porn?

Midget gangbangs - Jude MILFs - Matt Amateur - Ryan BBWs - Nic

Midgets gangbangs? o.o

Don't act like you've never been curious. - Jude

Hey guys, I know you own several porn sites in your network, but have you ever thought about adding a "Actor/Actress Height" "Breast size:" or, you know "Penis Size:" and "Hair color:" picker for those who know exactly what they're looking for across all the sites in your network?

We're always working to improve our search features and these will definitely be considered for future release.

What does your typical work day consist of, and do you get to work at home?

Twitter, Reddit, some support emails, watch some porn, harass /u/Katie_PornHub, and lots of work from home. You know, "research". - Jude

First off I want to say thank you for entertaining me last night... along with every other night. You're the reason i'm able to get a good nights rest. Second, what do i have to do to be a intern or take a tour and maybe cum away with from souvenirs?

We're here to please! We're not looking for new interns right now, but whenever we do, we usually find them via a contest on Twitter, so keep an eye on our twitter for future opportunities. - Jude

Hi guys, 2 part question!

I've always wondered if there is someone on the 'other side of the screen' that monitors what people search for/watch. Have you ever just sat there and looked at the recently searched and laugh? If so, what is the most ridiculous, fetish if you will, that you have come across

Check this out for a laugh - http://www.pornmd.com/live-search

Does working for a porn site diminish your sex drive or perception of sex with a SO?

If anything, it increases it. - Jude

There are many jobs in the company that don't involve actually watching porn. - Matt

How do I get a job composing music for 1980s grade amateur porn films?

I recommend a time machine and a Midi Keyboard. - Jude

How many viewers you have per year?

Somewhere around the 7.3 Billion visits mark -Ryan

How do you get a marketing job in porn? Sounds like a dream job

To be honest, I saw an ad. Came from a completely different industry, and now I'm livin the dream. - Matt

Why is there a comment section?

If there were no comments, there wouldn't be things like Pornhub Comments on Stock Photos

Lotion or dry?

Is it a special occasion? - Jude

You are stranded on a desert island with a mermaid.

Do you want get to be top or bottom half fish?

Top fish, if I have a bag. - Jude

What are the hardest aspects of each of your jobs?

Mah dick. - jude

From a marketing perspective it's sometimes difficult to crack the mainstream, but it's a challenge we take head on. - Matt

It's more of an interesting challenge than a difficulty, but effectively managing the mass amounts of traffic we handle on a daily basis while maintaining site speed and quality is something I've never had to deal with before working here. - Nic

To start off, I personally think that it is great that you guys want to invest in the esports scene to help it grow. That being said, do you think that YouPorn brand may actually put a negative spin on the legitimacy of esports since porn is generally looked down upon in society?

It's a common issue we run into in this industry when trying to work with companies outside of our industry. There's going to come a time when the overall perception of porn and related brands changes; we think we're on the verge of overcoming the stigma and believe we could be the company to break through the barrier. We're just looking forward to becoming a part of the growing esports community. - Matt

What do you say when people ask you where you work? What do you list on your resume?

I say I work for a porn company. - Jude

And the grandparents never ask any questions?

My grandparents don't know how to turn on a computer. To them, I work for the internet. - Jude

Do any of you actually have direct contact with any stars?

All the time - Matt

How many people visit YouPorn on a daily basis? Like an average.

20 million visits every day!

Why did you remove the "random video" dice button? I thought that was an exciting way of doing it. Is it just somewhere else on the site but I just can't find it?

We removed the dice button, but you can still find the random videos listed under the videos menu, or directly at - http://www.youporn.com/random/video/

We're here to please. - jude

Are you actually trying to find a League of Legends or Dota team?

We've already found one. Contract is just waiting to be signed. You can see the jersey and team logo mock ups in the ama description. - Jude

What’s the deal with all the blurred out beavs’ in the Asian porn? I’m here to masturbate not be censored. Also, if you know Esperanza Gomez, can you tell her I said “Hi”?

In Japan you actually can't legally show the beavs without blur. -Jude

Soooo, did you sponsor /u/EDJE 's DotA 2 team?
http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/2e3hgd/very_nsfw_in_an_attempt_to_get_my_team_sponsored/
Edit: I'm a slowpoke. Move on.

EDJE doesn't have a "team" of his own. He did tell us to sponsor Team Tinker though. He wants to see SingSing in YP Pink as much as we do. - jude

A few pornnstars have come out and said they hate porn tubes like Youporn and pornhub, because a lot of the content on these sites are pirated, so the people who work on these films aren't receiving as much money as they should be. Do you agree and do you try and stop it? Or do you think they blow it out of proportion?

We take piracy very seriously. We do everything in our power to combat copyright piracy, and comply with the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act).

Do you view working in pornography as a job just like any other acting job?

None of us are actually "actors" in porn, we're the people behind the scenes. It's a lot like working for any other web/tech company. - Ryan
