Did you know that yesterday was "porn day?" If you frequent site like 4chan and eBaum's World, you probably did. You might also know if you accidentally clicked on a YouTube link yesterday posted by readers of those sites, who uploaded adult videos en masse in an attempt to overwhelm search results.
YouTube did its part to remove the questionable content, assuring users that it should all be gone by now. Scott Rubin, a spokesperson for the company told Ars Technica:
It may take some time for video search results and thumbnail images to disappear from the site. Typically, this should not take more than a couple of days, but the videos themselves are no longer viewable.
YouTube was helped in its effort by the fact that many of the early posted used similar tags, such as that old 4chan favorite, "marblecake."
