Why do most hosts live in buffer today? Site like xvideos is one of the largest pornography sites in the world and with low publicity, one of the most accessed and you never see such kind of problem. Hosts today have heavy advertising, often advertisements with interminable pop ups and it seems the band is always overwhelmed most of the time.

More people here have thought about this issue?

Indications?

The magic:

xvideos stores 1-4 min clips, each vist means 1 popup. Shorter clips means bandwidth is less busy, able to serve many online users.

many hosts like those here for example, have 120min clips in averagem its why they need to show many ads and 120min watching keeps the servers always busy.
 
Large (porn) sites probably have a lot of capacity, like (regional) caching of content for faster access based on geo location and a lot of bandwidth. And maybe some of them are using different streaming containers to deliver video/audio content.
