Yeah it matters.
Lots of big paysites have individual pages for various releases, some include porn star information and maybe previews. Some big paysites do this for every release and some of them have unweildy url structures like
?video=77682&redir=1&file=mp4&site=domain
when they could just have
/video/guys-in-gangbang-episode-1
As for markup and schema, lets take the example of one well known paysite that has thousands of pages dedicated to various models and releases yet has the same meta description on every single page and worse has no schema. Without schema Google (and other search engines) can't provide added context to the search result - which leads to a poor user experience.
The reason I posted this thread is that I see so many sites leaving ranking opportunity on the table while companies like MindGeek are relentlessly pursuing every optimisation advantage they can employ.
If you have a site with thousands of titles, hundreds of models and don't use schema then that's just leaving yourself open to someone doing the job better - unfortunately some of the big tubes do. Tubes ranking highly isn't a problem that will go away so sites might as well spend some time giving themselves a chance rather than just cast the concepts of structured data to the wind.
