I think it goes by IP address of both the viewer and the uploader.
Australians are more likely to upload videos with Australian accents, and those are more likely to be shown to people in Australia. And they watch them, so viewership increases within the Australian market, so the algorithm continues down that line.
Once you’ve become a Verified Model on Pornhub, you have the option to block certain countries, American states, and Canadian provinces from viewing your Pornhub and Modelhub profile and videos.
It was pornhub that blocked Texas (and several other states). Other sites have done the same. Due to new laws making it risky to distribute in those states.

Maybe not, some sites have uploader controlled geoblocking so they can exclude their home region.

There are around 27 million people in Australia so it would be roughly comparable to blocking Florida (22 million) or Texas (30 million).
Didn’t Texas try and block themselves from pornhub?

They successfully did, age verification is now a thing for all adult content.
So they effectively made a VPN a requirement. Nice.
