Zara Dar, PhD dropout turned OnlyFans creator, now uploads AI lectures on adult site and becomes internet's 'favourite teacher'
Zara Dar, a PhD holder and engineer, is shaking up the content world by posting AI videos on Pornhub¡ªand making way more money than on YouTube! From quitting her PhD to becoming a full-time content creator, Zara's journey is as unique as her platform choice.
PhD holder, engineer, YouTuber, former OnlyFans star¡ªand now, a Pornhub contributor. Zara Dar certainly has an interesting list of credentials. But here's the twist¡ªshe's not contributing to Pornhub in the way you might expect. Instead of the usual content, Dar is using her PhD to upload AI videos to Pornhub! And she took to LinkedIn to announce this. A one of a kind, truly.
On X and LinkedIn, Dar shared, "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."

She included a screenshot of a video titled "What is a Neural Network?" posted on both platforms.
The video has close to a million views on YouTube but only 32,000 views on Pornhub. However, Dar revealed she earned $1,000 per million views on Pornhub, compared to just $340 on YouTube.
Dar also mentioned that the same post comparing the ad revenue on both platforms resulted in her LinkedIn account being blocked despite "many Top Voices" reaching out to her.
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¡ pic.twitter.com/QvbDL1pNqu

Zara had started OnlyFans as a side project during her PhD, but it quickly became a lucrative venture, earning her an impressive $1 million (Rs 8.51 crore).
This financial success enabled her to pay off her family's mortgage and buy a car, leading her to fully commit to content creation.
"Moving on to doing OnlyFans and content creation full-time, it's not just a career choice¡ªit feels kind of like a gamble on the direction of my entire life," Zara had confessed.
