        right, because other people are paying for it.

          And they would still do it, even if no one pays for it. Why? In hope that someone will actually pay for it…

            Here’s the thing: Yes, there are lots of people doing amateur and uploading to pornhub, and there are even some people doing higher quality stuff on free sites. And there are full videos pirated from pay sites.

            If all you want is to slob your meat to whatever is available, or if you just have very generic desires, more power to you. Personally, I have specific tastes and buying a year-long membership to Kink.com for $120 a year on Black Friday every year does not put a dent in my finances, but it does get me access to thousands of extremely high quality videos with great production quality that cater to my specific desires and are freely downloadable for me to save in Stash.

            I feel that is completely reasonable to either pay for porn or not pay for porn based on a number of factors. What I don’t understand is the willful ignorance of why someone might choose to pay for porn.

            The other thing that I can’t get behind is your insistence throughout this thread that people paying for porn isn’t what supports your ability to get free porn. It is, there are just no two ways about it. If people weren’t willing to pay money for porn, there would be a lot less of it and it would be way less accessible. Most people posting content on PH are doing it to advertise their OF profiles and if everyone who visited PH had an adblocker on, there would be no way for them to pay the massive hosting costs that come with being a streaming video provider of that size. By and large, porn exists because people will pay money for it, and your ability to access massive quantities of it is 100% funded by people who “pay” via ad impressions.

              Even if that was true, so what. There’s already tons of it available from decades of production. You can’t possibly watch all of it.

              You just wanna pay for porn, plain and simple… like I wanna eat burger from time to time. Now, if someone told me that there is free food (not a free burger, just free food) somewhere where they also serve burgers, I would eat the free food 9 out of 10 times, while you would pay for the burger 10 out of 10 times… if it’s on sale, maybe like 7 or 8 out of 10 if it wasn’t on sale.

              I do have specific kinks that I enjoy, but there really is A LOT of free or pirated content out there. I really really don’t see a point paying for it. Even if there is no pirated content, there really is a lot that is completely free… like I probably wouldn’t be able to watch all of it in a year if I watched porn non-stop, 24/7.

              Most people posting content on PH are doing it to advertise their OF profiles and if everyone who visited PH had an adblocker on, there would be no way for them to pay the massive hosting costs that come with being a streaming video provider of that size.

              Yet on the other hand, everyone here recommends using ad blockers when YT is in the picture… how is PH any different 🤨.

              In the end, they decided to go into this business, that comes with the teritory (ad blockers and all that)… and apprently, they’re not doing that bad, I mean, you can clearly see that the site is progressing.

              By and large, porn exists because people will pay money for it, and your ability to access massive quantities of it is 100% funded by people who “pay” via ad impressions.

              Paying with watching ads is not the same thing as plain out right paying for something. Besides, how much money will they get out of me watching ads 🤔? $2 or $3 on a yearly basis, and that is only if I watch A LOT of porn (ads are cheap nowadays). That is not what keeps the industry going, it’s the hope of being paid for someone seeing your content that keeps it alive. They might not get paid ever, or not enough (dead end content creaters, it is quite common nowadays, you see abandoned PH profiles or OF links), so they quit… or they didn’t advertise their content enough or in the right places… whatever the cause, it’s the notion of easy money that keeps the industry going, not being actually paid for porn. You know how many freebies porn scene newbies give out to try and get subscribers to their OF or MV pages? It is A LOT of content… and it’s all free 🤷.
