Editorial Policy & Methodology
The Scripture Protocol — How the Sacred Scrolls Are Written
Last updated: February 2026Our Editorial Mission
Since 2013My Porn Bible is not a link dump. Since 2013, we have operated as an independent analysis and grading center dedicated to technically evaluating adult platforms with the same rigor a financial publication applies to investment products. Every verdict published across our ecosystem — from directory grades to long-form blog reviews — follows the standardized methodology illustrated in this page.
We created this document because transparency is not optional when readers rely on your judgment. If you are a user, this page explains exactly how we arrive at our scores. If you are a platform operator, it explains why we cannot be bought.
A growing catalog of evaluated platforms and zero tolerance for compromising the methodology that earned the trust of our readers. The scripture is open. Judge for yourself.

The High Priest
Editorial LeadershipBehind every Verdict stands a human. Every score, every blacklist decision, every word published under the My Porn Bible name passes through one final checkpoint — the desk of our Lead Analyst.
Lester Faraday
Lead Analyst & Editor-in-ChiefLester Faraday is the architect of the Scripture Protocol — the six-pillar evaluation framework that has governed My Porn Bible's editorial standards since 2013, detailed in this page. With over a decade of hands-on expertise in platform security auditing, streaming technology assessment, and content integrity verification, he built the methodology that transformed a directory into an independent analysis authority.
As Editor-in-Chief, Lester oversees the full editorial pipeline: from raw technical data collection to the final published Verdict. He coordinates the analyst team that tests every platform across real devices and real user scenarios. When AI assists in drafting or optimizing content, it is Lester's team that verifies every claim, refines every sentence, and signs off on every score. No Verdict reaches publication without his approval.
His mandate is simple and non-negotiable: editorial independence above commercial interest, technical accuracy above convenience, and reader trust above everything. The Sacred Scrolls bear his standard.
The Scripture Protocol
6-Phase FrameworkEvery platform indexed on My Porn Bible is subjected to our proprietary six-phase evaluation gauntlet. This is the technical implementation of Lester Faraday's editorial vision — a structured, repeatable process designed to eliminate subjectivity and ensure every Verdict is backed by verifiable data.
Preliminary Threat Screening
Before any editorial assessment begins, incoming platforms undergo automated and manual security sweeps. Our team checks for malware injection, phishing redirect chains, and known blacklisted domains. Platforms flagged at this stage are rejected outright — no exceptions, no second chances. Only technically clean candidates advance to content evaluation.
Content Integrity Assessment
Analysts evaluate the platform's actual library against its marketing claims. We measure catalog depth, production quality tiers, upload cadence, and whether content taxonomy accurately reflects what users will find. Platforms that misrepresent their offering — inflated library counts, recycled content across categories, or misleading preview thumbnails — receive penalty deductions that directly impact their final score.
Cross-Device UX Evaluation
Every candidate is tested across desktop, mobile, and tablet breakpoints using real devices — not emulators. We assess navigation architecture, search and filtering systems, player functionality, and full page load timing under standard connection conditions. Platforms with broken mobile layouts, non-functional controls, or load times exceeding acceptable thresholds score poorly regardless of content quality.
Advertising Intrusiveness Audit
Our team quantifies the ad experience: pop-under frequency, interstitial density, deceptive close-button patterns, and whether ad overlays interfere with core functionality. Free platforms are expected to monetize through advertising — that is not penalized. What triggers score reductions is aggressive implementation that degrades usability or employs dark patterns designed to generate accidental clicks.
Payment & Data Security Review
For premium platforms, we evaluate the visible trust infrastructure: SSL certificate validity, payment processor reputation, and whether pricing terms are clearly disclosed before checkout.
Composite Scoring & Category Placement
Platforms that clear all five preceding phases receive a weighted composite score calibrated to their category. A tube site and a premium subscription platform are assessed on identical pillars but with category-appropriate weighting — content depth carries more weight for a premium service, while ad tolerance matters more for free platforms. Final placement is determined exclusively by score. No commercial arrangement influences ranking position.
Documented History
Since 2013Claims of experience mean nothing without independent verification. We submit ours to public audit.
Thirteen Years on the Public Record
The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has indexed mypornbible.com continuously since March 2013. That record — captured and stored by a third party we do not control — documents every iteration of our directory, our evolving methodology, and the consistent editorial standards behind every published Verdict.

TransparencyWe believe in radical transparency regarding AI in our editorial process. Here is our policy, stated plainly:
AI-generated content is professionally refined, fact-checked, and verified by My Porn Bible's human editorial team before publication.
Where AI Assists
- Visual assets: Featured images, blog illustrations, and category graphics are created using advanced AI image generation tools. Every AI-generated visual is labeled as such.
- Draft preparation: AI helps structure initial drafts, summarize technical data, and identify patterns across large datasets during the research phase.
- Content optimization: AI assists with readability improvements, structural consistency, and SEO formatting across our editorial library.
Where AI Does Not Decide
- Verdicts and scores: Every grade, ranking, and approval decision is made by human evaluators who have personally tested the platform. AI does not assign scores.
- Blacklist decisions: The decision to reject or delist a platform is always a human editorial judgment.
- Subjective assessments: Tone, editorial perspective, and the nuanced judgment calls that define our brand voice are human-driven. AI cannot replicate thirteen years of accumulated industry knowledge.
- Affiliate relationships: AI has no involvement in partnership decisions. Commercial relationships are managed separately from editorial evaluation.
We revisit this policy regularly and will update it as AI capabilities and industry best practices evolve.
Editorial Independence
Commercial FirewallThis is the section that matters most, so we will be direct:
My Porn Bible does not sell favorable ratings, and no commercial arrangement influences a platform's Verdict or ranking position.
Our revenue model relies on affiliate partnerships — when a user clicks through to a platform and subscribes, we may earn a commission. This is standard practice across review-based publishing, from technology to travel. However, the existence of an affiliate relationship has zero bearing on editorial evaluation. Platforms with active affiliate partnerships receive identical scrutiny to those without. Some of our highest-rated platforms have no commercial relationship with us. Some partners have received mediocre scores.
Structural Safeguards
- Separate teams: The individuals who negotiate partnerships do not participate in editorial scoring. These functions report through different channels.
- No pre-publication review: Platforms cannot preview, approve, or request modifications to their Verdict before publication.
- Documented methodology: The evaluation criteria on this page apply uniformly. A tube site and a premium subscription platform are assessed on the same pillars with category-appropriate weighting.
If a platform operator believes their score is inaccurate, we welcome factual corrections through our contact channels. Factual errors will be investigated and corrected. Disagreements with editorial judgment will be noted but will not alter scores.
Content Update Cycle
Living DocumentThe adult industry moves fast. A platform that earned top marks in 2023 may be coasting on outdated infrastructure in 2026. Our update cycle reflects this reality:
- Continuous monitoring: Our team tracks major platform changes, outages, policy shifts, and ownership transfers in real time.
- Scheduled reassessment: Every approved platform undergoes a full re-evaluation at minimum once per calendar year. High-traffic categories are reviewed more frequently.
