      Pornhub owns most of those alternatives.

          I love how they have clearly tried to hide that they make their money from porn. They used to be called MindGeek. The private equity firm that owns them is called Ethical Capital Partners.

            So I assume they can guarantee none of the women in the porn they show are victims of human trafficking.

            (I can’t know that in the porn I watch either, but I don’t host it.)

              in fairness, they did delete most of their content base after a minor was found to be on the platform. To the degree that keeps investors happy, i suppose they do.

      People dont really care where their content comes from, so long as it loads properly. But content creators dont want to migrate from the platforms they have all their followers on. If i have a decent YouTube channel that is large enough to be my primary income, I’m locked in because there is no real way to migrate all those followers over to a new platform. Nebula is the closest i think we have to a true YouTube competitor, but it’s a tiny fraction of the user base and most Nebula videos are available on YouTube for free.

      Monetizing one is much easier than the other.

      I’m actually really surprised pornhub hasn’t moved into the YouTube like space. They have the infrastructure and expertise. Why not branch into that ? Especially if YouTube keeps pissing off users.

        Reputation, if you think Nintendo is copyright happy when people put their things on YouTube wait for it to be on “pornhub kids”

        LoL wouldn’t even let YouPorn’s team compete
