One of the greatest things to happen for hundreds of original content creators like myself. Piracy was out of control on there and costing me thousands of dollars a month. Very happy this happened.

I'm fine with them curtailing piracy but during that mess is it confirmed they put in a profanity filter? Because if so that's the reason why I've avoided using Pornhub and related network sites.

Pornhub is a bore. Best stuff is in so many other places. Don't post free stuff at Pornhub, post paid content. Then you will not get ripped off. People posted freely and willingly on a free site with a free account and then act like they were being robbed. From day one have model release forms and proof of identity. Post paid. Now you have a beef if someone posts your paid stuff elsewhere. Period. Pornhub and similar sites are not the problem.

The issue about Pornhub from the standpoint of an original content creator/vendor like me was that platform's tolerance for assorted idiots that shared for free copyrighted stuff on which they had no rights whatsoever, and which was intended for member-only access on paysites OTHER THAN Pornhub. I have never been interested in doing business through Pornhub: I run my own websites. And I do not like platforms that get huge profits also thanks to their tolerance towards internet piracy. Period.

All Pornhub did was make other sites bigger and more popular. As for as original material. If someone makes good stuff I will buy it. If it’s just so so , I will watch it on the net. Destroying Pornhub is not going to make me buy material that I think is junk or so so. Plus I have tons of stuff from over the years on external hard drive from Pornhub and other places.

word to that. not sure why some fuckwits out there think it's cool to steal from hard working content creators. Running a foot fetish directory, it's retarded and heart breaking that so many solid foot fetish sites and foot goddesses have gone 404 for exactly that reason. If it's on my network, links go to the content creator, period.

It’s nearly impossible to advertise on PH now unless you have only one model ever. Even then and with providing proof of 2257 compliance, you’ll still likely not have your content public. I went from over 200 videos down to less than 10. About 1/4 of what I post now gets approved. I surely need a better platform to advertise on, and I doubt I’m alone.

Piracy? Is that what the changes were about? Listen, I'm happy for you original content creators. Really I am. You put in the work and effort to bring us the real goods. But if you think this content is now not available on dozens of other sites, instead of just pornhub you're nuts.
All this did was dilute where the content is hosted. You can find this stuff on multiple sites now and it will only grow. Its a loosing battle. I'll say it again, you can't win this fight. When the music industry went after Napster they thought they won. When the film industry went after Pirate bay they thought they won. They didn't. Anybody, can get anything, anywhere, for free.

You’re not wrong, but this did help to dampen it. The main reason for the purge is quite long winded. Long story short, it was over credit card companies pulling out due to underage porn.

The reasons behind Pornhub's policy change are multiple, and the story is far from being a straightforward and transparent one. It is absolutely true that the war by original content creators and copyright holders against internet piracy is a lost one from the very beginning. For each pirate site going offline, 10, 100, 1,000 new pirate sites pop out on any given day. What all the "cool, I can have all the (foot) porn I want for free" dudes do not realize is the astonishing number of adult paysites that have gone bust, and of original adult content creators that have quit, due to internet piracy. And they also fail to grasp that this will reduce the quantity, quality and variety of adult stuff around, in the long run. Once the entire adult entertainment industry (at least the one that we old geezers have come to love, to the point that we have become part of it) has gone bust (because this is what will happen, sooner or later), you'll have only the DIY (foot) porn by Ordinary Joes and Plain Janes around the web to jerk off at. No big issue, probably, since most of you are so bulimic for free porn that you cannot even tell shit from chocolate.

From what I understand, many of the pirated videos on PornHub were merely videos that were once on YouTube but then taken down.

i think there is still tons of great material on pornhub despite a lot of stuff being taken down. a lot of it's stuff i haven't seen before either, so it's kind of refreshing.
