Update your facts. Pornhub cleaned up and did a great purge of questionable content. If they couldn't verify it then it went. Anything questionable got flagged and deleted.
Now that Pornhub is blocked, well, people looking for porn will find MORE questionable content.
If you want better safer porn then YOU SHOULD BE SUPPORTING PORNHUB.
Call me crazy but I’m not very quick to forgive or trust again a platform that allowed sexual assault videos of a teenage girl to remain publicly posted. I don’t think pornhub is the epitome of ethical porn either. But on that note if people care about the ethics of their consumption I think they should consider decreasing their porn usage in general, it’s a pretty obvious net negative for personal health and societal health
Valid points. Not trusting pornhub after it taking so long to clean up it's content might be the better choice overall. Especially if ethics in porn is a top priority. I do think consuming too much porn is a problem for some people and it could start to warp perception if the consumer can't separate reality and fantasy.
I think most people don't care about ethics in porn, so I try to rep any small push toward good. It's not perfect but "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" and all.
