Probably was not getting as much traffic as it used to so they're rolling it into another site.

Any reason why?

[beavr]

Otherwise the traffic has been on decline lately https://www.similarweb.com/website/xtube.com/#overview

The sacrificial lamb...

[Eddie Monster]

[Phoenix]

There is only one guy that i see that like HUB in every fucking domain he purchased lol.
The one and only Michael freud!

good news

What’s strange, at the other place is they love PH. PH represented the closest thing to centralization. Decentralization is our strength. Centralization is control and corruption. Imagine a bunch of old commie queens calling the shots

So if you start to anonymous user upload some girlsdoporn movies on those tubes, you can take down more tube sites?

Just asking, not giving some ideas...

Just asking for a friend

Corrected.

[TACNet]

Cant see how any tube sites can operate after this

Mastercard will require site owners to have written agreements with users confirming the age, identity and consent of anybody depicted in a video https://segpay.com/bulletins/Masterc...6_Bulletin.pdf

They simply wont be able to have user generated content anymore.

Plus where do you draw the line ? You cant expect say youtube to have written consent of everybody that appears in a youtube video

slippery slope

Tube sites generally don't process credit cards

Your question is pure comedy.

The line is drawn at porn!



It's these thick headed comparisons to mainstream business that makes people afraid of porn. You seem to not understand simple societal boundaries.
Allowing porn on the internet was as slippery as the slope could get, and that is the problem.

I think tubes put one more safety step from 3rd part company for verification so I think is more hard now to do this.

[Freedom6995]

xtube lost 60% of its traffic since Dec.
pornhub is down 25% in the same time frame
#s are from similarweb.com

99% of tubes don't process any credit cards. This "bulletin" would only apply on domains where CC transactions occur, so xvideosred, PH premium, faphouse, etc.

I'm not really sure why you'd think Mastercard would have any power over sites that don't use Mastercard.

If pornhub goes down, mindgeek will come up with a new name and continue as nothing has happened. They will come back even stronger, I believe!

I don't agree, if PH falls, many smaller quality sites will get better exposure - UNLESS their content is based on grabbed PH content [or grabbed content from any sites of MindGeek]

we are too old to have this conv but there was always war on mainstream and porn.
take king(s) down and you can destroy the whole army.
pornhub has already purged most of their content so they are not trafficking or trying to have any stolen (or other shitty) content on their platforms.

so if mainstream is still fighting with pornhub thats just first step to take down all porn sites.

there is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge traffic sleeping in porn it's like that big part of pie that mainstream wants it.

You are missing one key point - pornhub is not the king, they simply have more backlinks then anyone else and that's it. Tho, there was many times in history where people though how some minor things are big threat while those what was actual threat was ignored.

i'm just saying we shouldn't be happy if mainstream people doing something that takes porn sites down for the reasons other than stolen content or trafficking.

With so much recycling nobody serious goes to these B tubes anymore

Been saying that for years.. there are maybe 10 tubes worth uploading as there is exactly 0 reason for surfers to go to small and slow tubes full of shitty ads and malware instead of those top sites that provide all they need. Every single male surfer in the world knows PornHub and/or Xhamster and/or Xvideos. The only reason for them to look elsewhere is an interest in illegal or pirated content since that's the only way for the small tubes to get Google traffic - by stealing.

It applies indirectly. They're clamping down harder on affiliates of paysites as well now as part of the above bulletin. If the affiliate (in this case a tube site one has a partner account on) has lots of non-compliant material, the paysite may risk processing termination if it's not resolved.

It seems like a lot of the small tube sites are trying to stick to mfc/chatturbate/etc rips, which the big boys take down often.

How would that be the paysite's problem if a tube site has non-compliant content on it if that non-compliant content did not come from the paysite?

If a biller cut me off because one of my many affiliates had illegal content on their site that was not mine I would go apeshit and contact an attorney. I do not have control over someone else's website. That would mean say 100 paysites got cut off from processing because an affiliate tube had illegal content on it that wasn't the paysites? Class-action.
