To me that proves that it's a direct, coordinated attack on Mindgeek, against all their services.

UnfortunatelyX2, we're facing corporations that are nearly above the laws... and even if there are laws, anything that's labelled porn is guilty by default, right?

Of course Mindgeek and Pornhub have been using dark strategies to their advantages, and I'm honestly fine that a wake-up call is being sent and that they're cleaning their mess. But what's happening is going beyond the original reason, beyong laws...

it's a witch hunt.
This industry would be thriving if there were more regulations that could be applied. Whatever the limit is we would make more money if we worked within that limit. For instance, if all porn went behind a sensible payment barrier of $10 minimum a month. That would eliminate the open access to children surfing porn. If extreme porn was banned, if sites were required to have legit records of models, etc.

Today we have the biggest user base ever so any government that tries to shut it down will be losing votes. Yet we all lose money because never has so many consumed so much for free.

The danger now is some people will put up Tubes, allow UGC, and rely solely on ad sales which Visa and MC can't do squat about.
