Introduction to HotPornTube: A Unique Experiment in Porn Streaming
This site could be considered an experiment that went very well, and the truth is that it has things that really caught my attention. HotPornTube can be considered one of the first websites that tried the method of storing links instead of videos; this maneuver is becoming popular for many porn websites as it allows them to have large amounts of content in a very short time but without having the videos in their hands, since they only have links that they get from different porn pages.
Design and Layout: Room for Improvement
HotPornTube contains many videos, but let's start gradually, from its appearance to its structure. We start by looking at a page from its home page; here, we begin to notice that its predominant color is not very attractive to the eye since we are talking about a dark brown, which is not a color that awakens the lust of users, we must remember that the first impression of something is everything and this is not good for the pages. In addition to this we can see that it has a search bar at the top and next to it a language selector in which there are 19 options to translate the page counting on the most used languages in the world. This is where we will begin to see the differences to other pages of this same family, and I appreciate that on this page, they have left it counting on a good selection of navigation boxes and not only three like the other pages, and as for its content, we will see it below.
Content Organization: A Wealth of Categories and Popular Content
As main content in the Home box, we find three sections, two of these made up of the same content and the other taking a separate direction; first, we can see category thumbnails with a total of 115 thumbnails for the user's enjoyment, and these only monopolize the most popular of the page where we can find what the users of the page look at the most with categories such as Step Mom, Anal, Korean, Big Pussy, and others. Going down a little, we find the Popular Categories section, and as the name indicates (unfortunately without a thumbnail), the 40 most important categories of the page are assigned. These change as other categories have more popularity, and in which all the categories that appear here, the most normal thing is that they have their thumbnail at the top, and ending with the home tab, we have the names of the most essential PornStars of the moment on the page with a total of 40 names that we will also see at the top in their respective navigation tab.
Video Sections: Popular and Recent
We continue with two tabs that share almost the same function: collect all the videos from HotPornTube and organize them according to their name. These two boxes are Popular and Recent; as you can imagine, the Popular tab is organized by the most viewed and best-rated videos, whereas, in the Recent tab, the latest videos uploaded to the page are located up to the oldest. I must say that all the ones I have seen are of excellent quality, just as an extra fact, so that you get an idea of the number of videos that the page has. There are a total of 983 tabs, and each one has 200 videos in each.
PornStars Section: A Vast Collection of Talent
The number of PornStars that the page has is also huge; we see old faces recognized by both boys and girls and new faces that we will suddenly see become superstars in the future. Here we see another change from its sister pages, and it is that here we see the photos of the PornStars on the page, and if we go to their profile, we have the possibility of having a filter with which we can organize the videos between the most popular, the longest and the newest. Here, we will see faces like Lisa Ann, Luna Star, Lana Rhoades, and Cory Chase (the last one is more recognized by women).
Categories: Extensive but Lacking in Presentation
In Categories, we find everything that we saw on the home page and much more since it has hundreds of these same ones. It is one of the sections that should excite the user the most. Still, without a doubt, the exploration box with the minor personality exists on the page since the only thing we will see are letters that make up the names of the categories in alphabetical order on a background with a color that is not at all expressive.
Channels: A Hub for Major Porn Production Houses
To finish the exploration on the page, there is the Channels box, where we find the names of the essential porn houses of today that are leading in this world; what the page does is gather all the free content of these pages and put it within these profiles in case the user likes the content of this company he will find everything at the time of entering the profile allowing him to see the content more quickly.
Conclusion: A Growing Platform with Potential
Some changes were made to HotPornTube that differentiate it from its sister sites, both good and bad, but this gives it identity and makes it stand out. The site continues to grow daily, and I hope it improves on its negative aspects over time.
