A woman educating others on machine learning and calculus through PornHub has disclosed her reasons.
While one might normally visit the adult site anticipating more provocative content, a niche audience has been engaging in educational pursuits instead.
Zara Dar, who transitioned from engineering to becoming an OnlyFans model, merges allure with intellect in her unique content offerings.

Sometimes, individuals crave mental stimulation rather than, well, another kind of stimulation, which is where intense math lessons come in.
The PhD dropout now boasts a collection of content on both YouTube and PornHub, where she educates beginners on various mathematical concepts.
If you're looking for a woman in a revealing outfit explaining neural networks or the history of pi, Dar is your go-to teacher.
On LinkedIn, she mentioned that her videos earn different revenues on different platforms, despite being identical content.
This discrepancy is all about the platform itself.
For instance, the same video would earn her $340 per million views on YouTube, but a whopping $1,000 per million views on PornHub, making the latter the clear choice for her educational videos.
However, after she shared this insight on LinkedIn, her account was subsequently banned.

She explained to 404 Media, "I was professional, but LinkedIn's stringent approach to this seems counterproductive to its mission."
While she garners more views on YouTube, it's evident that PornHub's audience isn't typically there for family-friendly content. Yet, there's a surprising amount of non-pornographic material on the site, like Minecraft gameplay videos.
When it comes to why Dar opts to use PornHub, she confessed to 404 Media that she's not entirely sure why her videos perform well there, "but it could be because my safe-for-work videos contrast with the usual not-safe-for-work content on the platform."
She added, "That contrast might make them more intriguing or refreshing to viewers. But that's just my speculation."
On YouTube, she describes herself as a 'Texas-born and bred engineer who developed a passion for computer science and creating content!'
Her audience is there for both the educational value and the visual appeal.
One viewer remarked, "She helped me realize that I can focus on two things at once."
Another shared, "I was watching this. My wife asked me what are you watching? I raised the volume."
Someone else noted, "I don't know why but my interest in math increased suddenly."
Another viewer commented, "If that’s how I would’ve been taught mathematics back in the day, I would’ve put Einstein to shame."
Thus, she's managing to educate and entertain simultaneously.
