Many older titles have dead URLs, but of those that remain (typically more recent videos), I find that “pure SEO effects” are not very common, and that the title is a reasonable descriptor of the video contents.
Both...
"Hot blonde girl gets fucked"
and
"FAMILYXXX - "I Cant Resist My Stepsis Big Juicy Ass" (Mila Monet)"
… could easily both be completely accurate descriptors of the same video (assuming that this Mila Monet person, or her supposed stepsister, is in fact a “hot blonde girl”).
Furthermore, the second could be rated as an accurate descriptor of a video that didn’t actually have any content indicating that anybody was anybody’s stepsister, just because the video contained somebody who plausibly could be somebody’s stepsister. You could retitle a video that wasn’t originally supposed to have a “stepsister” theme at all, and still get an accurate rating. The only thing that makes it a “stepsister” video is the (probably usually false) claim that it’s one, and that claim can be made equally well by the title and the content.
The rating system is a human in the loop: me. So it was my judgement call as to what the title accuracy entailed. My goal was to provide tools so that other interested parties would be able to make their own assessment, and that they could check my logs to verify. The logs are all included in that folder.

Even if the video clearly says that they are neighbors, you can still re-title it as “my neighbor’s stepsister”.
I actually saw a video like that. I wonder whether the target category actually approves of that… as, logically speaking, there is zero taboo about doing the neighbor’s stepsister… but still, maybe it is the keyword that matters. I don’t know what level of simulacrum are we at, anymore.

Hi jbash, I dove a little deeper on my title accuracy system here: https://github.com/dhealy05/semen_and_semantics/blob/main/analysis_results/title_accuracy_logs/title_accuracy_readme.md but didn’t account for it when I transferred the readme to the LessWrong format.

My goal was to provide tools so that other interested parties would be able to make their own assessment, and that they could check my logs to verify. The logs are all included in that folder.
For example, to rate the videos surfaced in https://github.com/dhealy05/semen_and_semantics/blob/main/analysis_results/title_accuracy_logs/incest_title_accuracy.json I visited each URL and ranked on the 1-5 scale. “Cum in panties step sister” did not seem to involve a step sister, so I gave it a 1: SEO effect. “Kinky Family—Home alone with slutty stepsis” does indeed seem to involve a stepsis oriented plot, so I gave it a 5: no SEO effect.
