What the numbers mean
The current 26-week index sits at 58.6, essentially flat against the previous 59.1. Over that window the score has stayed inside a tight band — a high of 60.2 and a low of 57.7 — which tells you this is a stable property with no meaningful upward or downward trend. It is what it is, week to week.
The strongest components are freshness (64) and mobile (66), followed by browse/filter tools (64), quality (62) and player (62). These cluster in the solid-average zone. The library scores 55 — the site's breadth is its softer point — and the single Gay category ranks #42 of 43 in our index, meaning it trails nearly every gay competitor we track.
The clearest drag is ads: a moderate level (2 of 3) and an ad-quietness sub-score of 50, the lowest experience metric. Nothing here is broken; the overall picture is a functional free site whose numbers plateau just below the mid-line rather than pushing toward excellence.
Confidence & data notes
Library and popularity both score 85. Free share scores 60, signup scores 60, and the format flags score 60.
The format fields for 4K, VR and downloads are recorded as null. No launch year or founding date is confirmed, so we make no age claim.
Finally, the trust figure (56) measures transparency and accountability signals — policies, contact and domain history — not safety. A middling trust score means ordinary accountability, and should not be read as a guarantee that the site is safe.
