Have you guys noticed many of their videos are missing? It looks like 80% of the content is gone now. Also, it looks like none of the videos are downloadable anymore for free. Anyone noticed this?

You're onto something there. In fact, they had something to say about this. Click Here to Read Their Statement Posted by solesurvivordragon (Member # 37330) on :
I actually do have a account there, but now I'm about to get rid of it. It's no fun there now.

They're basically trying to get rid of piracy by way of getting rid of anonymity. You have to get verified to put vids up now, so if its pirated they know who to come after.
In the past verification meant taking a picture of yourself holding a piece of paper that has your pornhub name on it. I'm guessing that has somehow changed since a lot of the folks complaining are saying they did that yet they were still part of the mass purge of people who did not.
In other words, the days of buying a vid and then uploading it on Pornhub are over. You have to be a content creator now, and those vids have to be made BY YOU. Made by or starring you, or both.

What I heard in the news is that of late they have come under fire for under age content.
Posted by canIsmellYourFeet (Member # 11183) on :
The underage content was why they lost Visa as a merchant, as that was some of the pirated vids people would upload. Lose Visa as a merchant = mass purge of pirated content and unverified users. In fact, currently, because of the loss of Visa, there is no way to get a Premium subscription unless you use cryptocurrency.
Right now if you want to get vids from the content creators you can't do it through Pornhub. When you try it'll say "purchases have been temporarily disabled." So I don't know if they're waiting out Visa, to show them "We've changed please let us use you again!", or trying to get someone like MasterCard, or CCBIll, or whatever.
Oops, just Googled it, make that Visa *and* Mastercard. Soooo PH is effectively screwed for the time being.

Damn, I was just about to start storing mine up there for safe keeping. Glad I procrastinated. Guess I’ll put them in my Dropbox account.

Tuff times for all the "there's plenty of free foot porn on Pornhub, why should I pay for it?" lads, huh? Posted by Rocky @TheSoleMates (Member # 28971) on :
I’m struggling to get my PH account verified. Al my videos have been unlisted and marked as pending review which is a pain in the ass. When the trouble is over, I’ll be super happy. I’m tired of seeing all the pirated content on there, including most of my entire studio.

I just tried to read the NY Times article, and couldn't get through it, there's just so much disgusting, immoral and illegal stuff out there that it can get really depressing. I have tried to get my video clips off that place because of all that nonsense, but have been unable to.
Posted by AceCorr (Member # 37554) on :
I thought PornHub only posts girls who are at least 18 to model. I haven't seen and I don't want to see any underage girls do porn. Do you guys like the IWF(I Want Feet) models? I love Holly, Honey Crest, Scarlet, Dre, Nikki, Danica, and a few others. I also miss MILF Nikki as well.

and the group behind that is an "anti-porn" group that's hiding behind the anti-trafficking movement. if it was really about stopping trafficking, they wouldn't also be the group that pushed for sesta-fosta bill that basically killed backpage and online escorting.

Yes, I am aware of the issue of a possible anti-porn crusade in disguise, which would indeed be a huge leap backwards. Yet from my own vendor's viewpoint, pragmatically, PornHub's move meant many copyrighted videos illegally posted by pirates or Idiotic Dicks around the world blown away with a click.. not a bad development at all.. Posted by Feetrecords (Member # 52646) on :
We are now also registered with Pornhub because we want to publish free hardcore content there. Signing up was relatively easy. We only needed a company certificate and an affiliate program on our website to be accepted as a content creator. As PH is currently doing, we feel safe because of pirates and other people who would interfere with our proper work.
Posted by Rocky @TheSoleMates (Member # 28971) on :
I haven’t been able to get my previously uploaded videos active again, but I can upload new videos with no problem. I’m happy about the change. It got rid of all the piracy on their site.

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.

@Rocky, @Jason: I am with you, fellow producers and vendors of original content! Fuck pirates! Posted by Surmene (Member # 43593) on :
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.
Posted by JamesClaide (Member # 53339) on :
it's quite boring there now so i'm not interested in porhub anymore
Posted by sperminator (Member # 17162) on :
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. Posted by tintin19153 (Member # 3694) on :
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.

I am quite happy with the changes also, got rid of a big portion of my piracy problems !
Posted by TheSoleMates (Member # 28971) on :
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.
Posted by Sinnister (Member # 2394) on :
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.
Posted by TheSoleMates (Member # 28971) on :
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.
Posted by Feetosopher (Member # 45909) on :
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.
Posted by coryr (Member # 49869) on :
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.

I am so glad I´m not on PH anymore... All those spamming requests by all those girls were so annoying.
If only feet9.com was better, with accounts with profile pics etc.

Does everyone have cryptocurrency and I'm just the last to know? Cause as of today that is *still* the only way to get premium at PornHub. Visa isn't coming back apparently.

I only have Bitcoin parts due to using Coinbase. It gave me about $40 of Bitcoin for free.

It’s reassuring for all of us content creators. I was tired of seeing several of my videos pirated each day.
