I am not sure...but I think there is a search feature once you sign up
so with that they have instant access to almost any type of content...be it porn, music or mainstream movies

Oh, you can already search without signing up, with sites like
http://filesbot.com/
What I think, though, is that if they really were making an informed decision, they'd most likely go for torrents (eg. puretna.com - someone needs to ddos that site) or emule instead. Those are free, and have enough porn in enough genres to fill up pretty much anyone's hard drive. Plus, the typical torrent site has preview pics, descriptions, etc. - something Rapidshare and its siblings lack.
That's what makes me think people actually often join Rapidshare so they can get a specific (group of) file(s) quickly, and not just because it offers loads of content at a fairly low price.
