Onlinepornhub provides users with free pornographic material. Their Premium subscription gives access to streaming and downloading options in 4K Ultra-HD as well as exclusive full-length pornos. Monetization occurs through ads and revenue-sharing models; yet even this content continues to generate criticism for being nonconsensual or exploitative in nature, and pressure from potentially intrusive age verification laws.
Pornhub was established by Concordia students Ouissam Yousef, Stephane Manos and their competitive foosball partner Matt Keezer in 2007. Since its creation, its open source file hosting platform and monetization system had quickly become one of the Internet’s premier destinations for uploading pornographic videos. Later that same year, MindGeek from Montreal bought it; over time this company would acquire several other online porn sites as well.
As the pornographic industry expanded rapidly, many performers turned to Pornhub as a platform to monetize their content and monetize it for commercial gain. As it offered all forms of adult entertainment content ranging from self-filmed videos and studio shows, it became the dominant platform among performers of all kinds.
Since then, the site has taken steps to enhance user safety. They use both human and automated moderation systems to guard against illegal content while encouraging users to report any items they believe violate its terms of service.
Pornhub may offer safeguards, such as malware protection and phishing attacks; to protect users it is advised that they use a VPN when connecting to it in order to ensure all traffic to and from the website remains encrypted and no third parties have access to intercept any of your information or tamper with it.
