if you actually tripled an appreciable amount of traffic then perhaps HTTPS did contribute.
right now though, I don't see evidence to make me believe that google is strongly preferring HTTPS. The top tubes are using https, but, causality: are they the top tubes because of https? Or do they use https because they're the top tubes?
the aggregator networks (adultwebmasternet, etc) are not using https and continue to rank well.

Your first statement applies to my case, it's a new website (also an aggregator) and after a couple of weeks with 100-150 daily uniques, traffic tripled. I am not relying solely on Google, I receive traffic from other search engines too. One thing I noticed before adding https, is that other search engines were pointing to the https version of my website even though I had no SSL certificates installed. So basically after installing it, all that blocked traffic got released.

No relevant changes Barry, videos are automatically added from different adult providers on a daily basis. I change post frequency so it doesn't seem too automatic.
Thank you for your thoughts!
