• YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
  • Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.

    Honestly, Pornhub has the infrastructure to take on Youtube, if they wanted. If they just cloned the site, sans content, and called it Videohub, there would immediately be a real contender in the marketplace.

      Pornhub ads don’t bother me. They are annoying, and too loud but 4 seconds is like the magic number. And you only watch it once i think.

      That would never work because of the fragile mindset of Karens. “A moderated and SFW video platform owned by a Porn company?? NEVER!”
