“I don’t have expectations in that time, just I made, OK, I’m going to shoot this collab but I’m
not going to post, I’m going to save this collab,” she says. “I was so scared, you don’t have
any idea...
“But Jak Palmer, he’s a really nice guy, he sit with me, he told me you don’t need to feel
uncomfortable. And when we post that video all the fans were like oh my goodness, who’s this
girl? She’s so natural, I love it and when I arrive here [in Madrid] I post that video.”
That collab now has 11.1 million views on Pornhub She did her second collab with Girthmasterr,
who won Favorite Independent Male Creator at the 2025 AVN Awards and tied for Best Dick
at the 2025 Pornhub Awards.
“I was nervous because I am really so selective with who I want to work because for me the
most important is when I turn on the camera I need to shoot and make a real thing,” Lee says.
“Because you can find a lot of porn on internet but sometimes the thing you really want to feel
and enjoy is this is a real sex, this is nice, I can feel the connection. That is what I’m looking
for in every single collab.”
She adds, “So I meet him and I remember I was scared. I was like, no you are so big, it’s
impossible. But in the end of the day, I did it. And we post that and boom it was on the first
page on Pornhub. And in that moment, my life changed.”
Ruth remembers being reluctant to upload anything during her early days on PH, where she
now has racked up 107 million video views and 306K subscribers on only 29 videos.
“When I was being a cam girl, I create my own Pornhub channel, but I don’t post nothing
because I was bit shy, to be honest,” Lee admits.
“So finally when I create the OnlyFans and I can see OK, this page has a lot of potential. I
can know more people here, I’m going to do it and I post my first Pornhub video and got whole
new subscribers to my page and it was like oh my goodness this is so real because now my
life changes.
“I can go to the park and a lot of people is, ‘Hey, are you Ruth Lee?’ And I was like, oh my
gosh, what is this?’”
Thanks to changing the way her name is listed from “ruthlee” to Ruth Lee on Pornhub—
which was part of a case study on the impact that stage names have on PH rank—Lee saw a
dramatic rise in her ranking earlier this year.
According to a Pornhub rep, Ruth was ranked 324 on February 10 when her stage name was
ruthlee, but based on user search data, the PH brass noticed that people were typing “Ruth
Lee” to find her content.
“We immediately contacted her and asked if she’d be open to changing her name from ruthlee
to Ruth Lee to make it easier for PH users to discover her content and ultimately get her more
views (and more money from ad revenue),” the PH rep explains to AVN. “She agreed and we
ran a four-week test to measure the results. By March 10, Ruth’s PH rank rose to all the way up
to 22 by simply adding a space between her name.”
