Pornhub’s parent company is changing its name to total nonsense::MindGeek, the parent company of Pornhub and other adult entertainment websites is changing its name to Aylo as it looks to get a “fresh start.”

    seriously, how bad must it be to change name to clean up their image? We all expect this industry is controversial.

    The only recent thing I remember about Pornhub is the current blocking in certain states as protest to the age verification requirement. That seems like a plus in my book that they stand up for privacy and internet use. Changing the name seems like it might dilute their stance.

      They had huge scandals about revenge porn and child porn in the past. It was so bad, that they deleted a substantial amount of their library, just to be sure.

      BTW the brand is still Pornhub, but the company using that brand gets renamed. Hardly anyone knew that name anyway.
