Big changes at Pornhub

[stickyvicky]

So nice to hear from you Brigadier General John! Hope you stick around! Great post! Things sure have changed since last time you were here!

[WalterB]

Well, I'll be GoToHell, dang, John, I can't even come up with a good come back, lol. Where ya been? Good to see you. Hope all is well back there.

Possibly Visa processing is back. Nutaku.net (Mindgeek's gaming site) just announced that Visa processing has started up again. Mastercard was monitoring all of this and hasn't taken any further action.

The girls at ManyVids have been complaining about Pornhub about users for years. One lady I know issued seventeen c & d letters in a day. Good to see them finally not allowing it.

It's like a ghost town over there. Anybody who is not verified there as a content owner, pornstar, or adult model has had all of their pictures that they uploaded removed. Even their profile pictures were taken down too. [And there are thousands of unverified members.] They also removed the drop down box for pictures. Just videos are allowed now from verified content owners, pornstars, and adult models. Though, I really feel horrible for the honest Pornhub members / users there. Some of them have spent years putting up photo galleries of their favorite ladies. But then again those Pornhub members /users didn't own those pictures. They were either just members or ex-members of websites.

JohnFromNewYork is back? What next the return of the infamous Batracer????

Things getting worse for Mindgeek! They just got slapped with a $600 million lawsuit!
https://nypost.com/2021/01/08/pornhub-p ... hild-porn/
The class representative is a woman who alleges that a video of her rape as a 12-year-old was posted to Pornhub, and who accused the site of being deaf to her pleas to take it down.
I'm sorry but you reap what you sow! You get what you deserve!

Only the vets that are being paid well.

Overall, Pornhub has hurt more models than it has helped.

Everyone in the end, took the attitude, (including us, reluctantly) IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM. So everyone is uploading to their own channels. If you don't do it yourself, it will just be stolen anyway and then you make nothing.

But the rates are ridiculous. Each time someone views your video you make .0006 dollars. ie it takes 100,000 views to make $60/it takes 10,000 people to watch your video for you just to make $6. So why wouldn't i upload that clip on onlyfans or clips4sale or manyvids instead and make $6 for one view? The stupid thing is, if you upload it to PH, and then try to sell it on your onlyfans, they will search for it first on PH, then tell you, oh thanks for bringing that video to my attention, I wasn't aware of it. I just found it on PH and watched it for free. I love you! You made me cum! Thank you! Wow! Thanks I just earned .0006 from you! That is not even half a penny.... So by uploading your stuff there you are making it worthless. Why are we defending them?

Interesting. More for me to think about. Not that my thoughts will ever come to anything. Or help anyone, unfortunately.

Yeah I just wanted people to understand. It used to be all 100% stolen content until they came up with this new sharing program where they throw us a few crumbs. Now girls are out advertising for them, wearing the pornhub T shirts and gear, they are sponsoring events like xbiz, and having their own awards shows, and inviting lots of Hollywood celebrities.

Now the fans are more confused than ever. I meet people at conventions and they say I'm your biggest fan! I've watched every video you've ever done! I say great are you a member of my site? They say no I watch them all at pornhub, you make money from that right?

glad I was more informed to begin with.

Maybe an allegorical video of how porn-hub type sites "rape" performers? Too far fetched?

[stickyvicky]

Exactly correct.

Asa Akira defending Pornhub.

What's scariest this time around for me - compared to any of the anti-porn wars fought before - is that Pornhub is arguably the biggest, most mainstream company our industry has ever seen. They are a household name, and have done more than any other company in the past to normalize porn. They donate millions, head campaigns to better the world (not just in areas of human sexuality, but also the environment, feminism, etc.) and are proudly supported by much of mainstream media. If they can be taken down by such hate, who is next? How are we, as an industry, safe? How are we, as sex workers, as individuals, safe? If even the almighty Pornhub is vulnerable, what does that mean for the rest of us?

I mean, I get her point, she's scared that Pornhub is just the beginning of a witch hunt against porn in general and that more and more people are jumping on the porn-should-be-illegal-bandwaggon, but...

In addition to being the first porn platform to take a stance on the very real issue of revenge porn (creating a dedicated page for the removal of it, where scenes are taken down within hours. Once videos are removed, they are fingerprinted to ensure they cannot be re-uploaded,) Pornhub is the only big media platform that has human moderators screening each and every video before it's published. Because of this precaution, third party reports state that when compared to other platforms (both mainstream and adult) Pornhub is among the best.

So, even if they're monitoring the content that they offer, is that really a reason to applaud them? And even if they do give some money to charity, how does that make it any better? If I rob some poor person on the streets and steal 100$, am I an awesome person if I give 10 cents of what I stole to charity?
And they're among the best compared to other platforms...yeah, tough competition...
I think pornhub needs to shut down, but for the "right" reasons: because they stole content and ruined people's business. They're not fighters on behalf of porn, on the contrary, they gave porn the reputation of being cheap. Plus, because of them, content became more and more extreme...
Sorry, that was long, just my 2 cents
tl;dr: Pornhub needs to be shut down!

The fact is they did find unconscious women being raped, and child porn on their site. That's the reason they lost their Mastercard and Visa.

On xbiz forum right now there is a past employee of a tube site telling how he flagged lots of criminal activity and asked for it to be removed. They said no because it was making too much money.. He made a stink and they fired him.

Asa believes what she needs to believe to make her feel ok. They pay her very well for this. The facts are the facts though. You can't spin them.

Vice Germany did an undercover research at xhamster (which is the most popular pornsite here). At xhamster, it's a group of volunteers that reviews uploaded content. They're pretty much on their own, the only order from xhamster officials is, when in doubt whether it's legal (meaning that you're not a 100% sure it's illegal), wave it through...
The original article is much longer, but here's an English summary:

I just read that! What a farce!

480 words is way to verbose. The manual could just say "If you're not 100 percent certain the image will result in prosecution or a fine, then it is acceptable." There, I got it down to under 20 words.

Vicky talk about spin that's true, I find that is what is happening with a lot things right now, is people spinning things and make themselves believe it's ok(trust me not call out people because I'm guilty of it too).

hello fellow group people :) i want to add my thoughts about porn hub but first this is my very first day on the forums i just registered with sunny lane about 5 hours ago...so i am very very new....sticky vicky was extremely kind and told me i needed to sign up for the forums separately :) i did now im good to go :) it is a pleasure meeting all of you :)

i want to introduce myself and it also ties in with pornhub....i was born with cerebral palsy and i use a power wheelchair...thats why when i was thinking about user names i went with mr wheels..i always find nicknames to be mostly absurd...just because you want to find something that sounds mostly cool and not dick like..my dad was a fighter pilot and he had a call sign..basically they are like user names..the well known call sign is maverick in top gun...my point to all this is in the military you can't just create your own name..it is given by the people around you...usually they are character traits or habits or quirks that people have..so thats why i always had a hard time giving myself a user name because i try and be humble and not dick like lol

as i said i have cerebral palsy and for the most part im cool with it..because honestly i never had anything else in my life...i think people who get injured and disabled have a hard time beecause lets be honest its a hard adjustment on all parts of your life...but for me it is what it is

as you might imagine the hardest part of cerebral palsy..is and lets be honest against its not a g string dropper for women who can always choose a walking guy....so my sex life is watching porn and yes i have a porn hub account and then i met sunny lane on twitter and thought i was awesome and i make her laugh and she wanted me to join this site..so people can enjoy my personality and i get to see her naked..i don't have a lot of extra money but i saved for about a year to get a membership..so i have been using porn hub

pornhub has been going through some changes....and honestly i feel betrayed and if im allowed to say..kicked in the balls...as a nobody user pornhub has been deleting videos and they have deleted all the videos in 2 of my playlists...they just did it without telling.....so i have been feeling that pornhub doesn't love me anymore...who knows if they will ever get back to what it was...but right now i feel like rocky after 100 rounds and you feel bruised and battered

please don't think les of me for watching porn..but the people who say that to me are people who are prudes and hate porn any and they call me degenerate

i love porn and porn performers they adopt me and treat like one of their own so maybe im cool after all :)

i would love to say to sticky vicky thank you for helping to be a part of this family and for looking out for me :)

Welcome to the Army, MrWheels. I'm sure Vicky is very glad to have you join us, as will be Sunny. Sunny's shows are typically Wednesday, 9 Eastern. Look around the forum, click the links. The near-term schedule is on the right and there are links to the master list scattered around. There is a link to the archives where you can see all of Sunny's past shows

Look around the forum and all of the VNA sites. You're gonna love it!

Walt

[stickyvicky]

Welcome Mr Wheels! We are so glad you are here! I am sorry that pornhub deleted your lists of videos, I don't know if you actually owned those videos or had any rights to them In the 1st place? I don't know you so I don't know? Pornhub is trying to clean up their act so they can get their Visa and Mastercard back after they found child porn and unconscious women being raped on there.. Now they are deleting videos that were stolen from girls websites which is a good thing for us. We are noticing our website sales going up! Yay!

Here you will find over 25000 videos and another 17000 cam archives that you don't have to feel guilty about watching - you are perfectly legitimately entitled to all of them through your membership. Doesn't that feel good?

Let us know what you think of everything and if you have any questions? There are amazing wonderful people on here and you will make some great new friends!

[mrwheels]

oh wow i think im going to love it here...thank you walt...and thank you vicky..this whole site has a real positive energy...i love that so much i think i found a wonderful family...im wondering about the camshows..only because i type with one finger and its really slow and everyone else is at lightening speed..maybe they will think im just masturbating lmfao

[mrwheels]

i probably did not own the videos i was just a joe nobody guy who watched videos and if i liked it then i put it in a playlist
