I'm not surprised. They're probably the most recognizable name in porn and undoubtedly under a lot of scrutiny.<p>Now if only I could tell their algorithm to stop recommending step-sibling/parent fantasy porn... yuck.
So are all the increasingly vintage vhs amateur porno whose provenance can't be tracked on their way out? Are there any porn preservation movements out there?<p>Sometimes I wonder if there's a common porn clip that high % of world has seen growing up. The de_dust2 of porno. Arguably porn is more global mass culture than any franchise. And I guess it would be kind of a shame if all that is lost.
All of the trends I see in the porn industry are moving in the right direction. Things like OnlyFans, Chaturbate, and the Pornhub shift to user-made content are resulting in more money and control for creators and, at least in my opinion, a much better marketplace for porn consumers. It's also gradually transforming/marginalizing the traditional porn industry, which is where a lot of the worst parts of the sex industry thrived.<p>I think some people will lament the shrinking spaces where people can produce and consume porn anonymously. But porn is a gargantuan industry. It only seems like it exists on the margins because it's been forced to act that way. In reality, it needs to be regulated like any other major industry that occupies such a sensitive area. And I think there will always be space on the true margins for people who want their sex/porn outside of the mainstream.

This is great news. Finally some accountability from what is almost a de facto organization that feels as big as Youtube.<p>Hopefully this will promote actual sex positivity.
