Of course they do.
For instance...I gave Pornhub a shot as an affiliate. Everybody on here was bragging about how the tubes were a great traffic source and everybody else was getting rich by putting their vids on them.
So I gave it a shot. They signed up as an affiliate and I uploaded a few vids. Millions of views over the last 4 months to the vids. SIX sales for them as an affiliate!
But I digress...back to the original point: To upload vids you have to create an account as a user. You can't just be anonymous and upload.
So when I log into that account there is a big link that says "VIDEOS" and it shows every video that you uploaded as a user.
That's easy enough. Now you have me, my email address, and my ip that I am uploading from.
Hell, just imagine the data that they collect that way on millions of people. Probably make more money selling lists than they do on the pre-paid spots.
So yeah. they DO have logs of who uploaded and what they uploaded. And there is also a big link that says: "PREVIOUSLY VIEWED" on your account page. And that one shows the vids you have recently watched as well.
It's all collected and the data is mined and used. Nice and tidy if a subpoena is issued.
