LOS ANGELES—Daniel Peterson, the founder of VRPorn.com, told Wired that initially VRporn.com was not porn-related, that he was using “porn” in a decidedly non-XXX way, in a new profile.
“Peterson, 37, created his site in 2013 as a VR fan site: he called it VRporn.com, he says, the way a food blogger might talk about ‘food porn,’” writes Catherine Allen for Wired in “How to build the world’s biggest VR website: pivot to hardcore porn.” “Then he tried a few posts on actual VR porn—and the reaction was immediate.”
“I would write some article about a technology topic and some other article about an adult CGI VR experience. Those NSFW posts received 20 times the interest as the safe-for-work posts,” he told the site.
Today that site gets about 10.5 million views a month, double the No. 2 VR site, Oculus.com, according to the story. The site recently launched its premium service.
