Math on Pornhub — Why a Tutor Teaches Calculus on the Porn Site
Model 2501 posts videos on Pornhub getting millions of views
Model 2501 is a math tutor, fully clothed, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a dark gray hoodie — that has not been washed for months. For sure, this guy has a story to tell.
The media discovered him last month. His channel Changhsumath666 on Pornhub has made him a viral sensation around the globe. He is a verified content creator on the site now.
This is his slogan — written on the channel title page:
Play hard, study hard!
“I was on the brink of bankruptcy,” he remembers. “I wanted to get out of that dark place in my life.”
When Shun-Wei Chang got his master’s degree in math, he had no idea of what was in store for him. But he knew he loved math. Soon, he got a job as a teacher, and for fifteen years, he worked hard in his position.
In Taiwan, tuition centers are called cram schools. Opening a cram school seemed like the natural step forward for his teaching career. He applied for a bank loan.
He had dreamed and planned for years to start a cram school. As soon as the bank approved the loan, Chang set up the school. His teaching skills helped him get students early on. He hired some of his friends and former coworkers. But some of them were jealous of his success.
One such employee hatched a plan to steal his students. He rented space on the upper floor of the same building and moved the students to his school. It devastated Chang.
“Due to his actions, I lost my source of income. I needed to pay more than $35,900 to the bank, and his actions took away all I had worked for. For a time, I even thought of committing suicide,” he said.
If he wanted to go on, he had to think of something. He stopped going back to his home and slept in the now-empty cram school rooms.
One idea was to start a YouTube channel. He recorded videos like a man possessed. He solved 100 calculus problems in 10-hour-long live sessions on his site — twice. He recorded 226 videos — each one hour long.
But the views did not climb as he had expected. Then he started visiting universities in Taiwan to coach students preparing for the final exams. He created Math courses on different sites, but nothing seemed to work.
In May 2020, one of his teammates suggested that he should upload the videos on porn sites. That was where most of the students could be found most of the time, he argued. “We thought of putting our videos in the most jarring place,” Chang laughed.
He tried to upload his videos to XNXX and XVideos, but they blocked his account as the content was not what they were looking for.
But when he uploaded the videos to Pornhub, they didn’t object. The name of the parent company of Pornhub is Mindgeek. Chang kept uploading his videos and finally became a verified content creator. His rank is 587 on the site.
Students loved how he explained calculus. One user, Hanimechann, said, “Thanks, I needed this for my math finals.” Another, RobertsHoles, commented, “He will do anything to reach his students!”
Since he speaks Mandarin, the international viewers visited his page for a laugh. Chang knew that, and he wanted people to talk about it. It was a clever marketing strategy for getting attention.
“I can probably be considered the biggest ethnically Chinese calculus teacher on Pornhub,” he innocently told HKFP.
As more people talked about his videos on Pornhub, he started getting followers on YouTube too. The increasing traffic led more students to his online courses.
His math videos often contain keywords like “naked,” “threesome,” “giant breasts,” “oral sex,” and “masturbation,” for SEO purposes. Chang told VICE.
“International media is reporting about us, but they focus only on our current success or fun marketing strategy. But the thing is that we were only trying to save ourselves from total failure, we tried everything to survive. Uploading the videos to an adult website is only one of the methods we used,” he explained to HKFP.
When the cram school businesses around him suffered due to the lockdown, his online courses and YouTube channel started to earn money.
He has earned more than $250,000 from his online courses till now. More than enough to pay his bank loan.
As the international media spreads his story, he might soon reach the number 1 rank of Pornhub. He was invited to attend a live stream on Pornhub’s official Instagram account.
Chang plans to auction his now-famous gray hoodie — to help students in rural areas. “On Pornhub, everyone is naked, but I’m all wrapped up in clothing. Wearing clothes made me stand out,” he said.
Takeaways
When facing hardships in life:
- Think out of the box. “I believe many people would forget the adult actresses they have seen, but they’ll always remember the math teacher from Taiwan who teaches calculus on an adult website.”
- Keep moving in the direction of your goals, no matter what. “If anyone is facing intense struggles right now, I hope my story gives them strength, so they can believe if they persevere, one day, there will be hope,” he said, adjusting his glasses.
- There is no such thing as bad publicity.
I hope you enjoyed the story.
