article published on 16 February, 2008
According to data reported by research firm Nielsen Online, the video habits of women suggest a bias towards big network television content that is available on the Internet, while men seem to prefer the amateurish short video clips found on YouTube-like sites. The data also suggests that both types of videos are watched mostly at radically different times of the day.

I've never found a porn video on YouTube because I've never looked, but the important thing is, the porn cannot be found by innocent searches, at least from my own experience.
I completely disagree with people who trash-talk YouTube. Sure there are people who post complete crap to YouTube that makes you wonder if Natural Selection is on vacation, but there's millions upon millions of videos and in there are some real gems including educational and informative videos that everybody should see sometime.
It also plays hosts to many of the important debates of today, such as the Creationism (I.D.) vs. Evolution debate, which by now must have thousands of videos from either side (although I have to say having seen most of them, Evolution is the clear winner) and that's just one example, you can find pretty much whatever you want on YouTube, it's a wonderful resource.
Also, there is the benefit to big and small websites and blogs alike. The ability to just upload your video to YouTube and embed it into your blog, and knowing Google's servers will always be able to feed your traffic whether its 1 view or a million views. When it comes to online video, it is the revolutionary entity whatever way you look at it and it is changing people's habbits on the web big time.
Of course, there are other more moderated websites with good content too, but that also means the selection inevitably has to suffer.
That's just my 2 cents anyways :-)

I've never proactively searched youtube. Fortunately, friends only send me links to funny vids. So I can't totally say that youtube sucks.

In my opionion i feel this is true why because men do not have long attention spands compared to women so hence the youtube short video clips appeal to the male gender.
