haha
how much of them are conservatives watching gay or trans porn.
Exactly the first thought I had.
YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS, IT’S TIME TO PLAY THE WORLD’S LONGEST RUNNING GAME SHOW…
WHICH QUEERPHOBIC PUBLIC FIGURE IS WATCHING QUEER PORN!
Let’s Greet our Contestants, shall we?
He’s so homophobic someone renamed a mix of Cum and Lube after him, it’s Rick Santorum!
He’s so transphobic JK Rowling told him to tone it down, It’s Graham Linnerhan!
Despite wearing platform shoes, he wants to make all forms of Queerness a crime, it’s Ron DeSantis!
And finally, she’s called for Transgender Women to be executed en mass, for famous transwomen to be raped, and she’s featured in some of the Queer porn in question, it’s Lily Cade!
PUBLISH ALL OF IT!!
Considering conservatives are the ones most likely to “sign up”(fuck that is a strange thing to type! Imagine needing to vote and comment on porn!), I’m betting on the over.
2 in the pink, 200 million in the stink
Oh, but the children are safe and priority and that’s why they want to verify them. Oh but the children. Think about the children!!! CHILDREN!!!
Children is all US Republicans seem to be able to think about…
This is exactly why I’m cautious with websites that store people’s IDs.
No problem. Use someone else’s ID that gets leaked.
interesting
Release the pornhub files!
Pornhub has not worked with Mixpanel since 2021, which means that the stolen data would be from that year or earlier. Reuters, who contacted some Pornhub customers to confirm the breach, was able to authenticate that the user data that pertained to those customers was accurate – but was several years old which would be consistent with the Mixpanel data.
We checked our accounts and this is what we found…
Hello Sir… Good news is I’m not calling to talk about our Lord and Saviour. Bad news, can you verify your identity and daily access to the following pornhub fetishes?
This is going to be fun. Let’s do some Data Analysis with this. Find the republican with the highest amount of watch time of gay porn.
South Carolina has entered the chat
to them it’s not gay unless you’re the bottom.
I mostly play as support, but sometimes I pick mid lane, rarely bottom lane as ADC. Is it gay? (I’m LOL player)
Yes it’s gay to be a LOL player
Don’t worry though, because there’s no way your ID verification for adult sites will ever get leaked
Millions of fake IDs have been leaked.
Dunno why your obvious joke about the effectiveness of age verification was downvoted
It has ONE downvote.
Approximately as many as this comment!
Edit: this ratio is wild.
Not sure if this hack has a name, but usually once someone in a comment tree makes a joke about downvotes — e.g., clowning on an edit complaining about a downvote — rules are suspended for all comments that follow, and you can accrue lots of downvote salutes FOR FREE.
(Maybe not my comment since I’m late to the downvote party, but here you go;)
Edit: why the upvotes? :(
Edit edit: 1v1 me irl
I also got the party started by being the first to downvote myself. The first person to upvote me probably made it look like I didn’t downvote myself.
But the second person to upvote me… Now that’s the real bastard. They made my comment seem like it deserved upvotes, and ushered in others who thought this was a comment worthy of their support.
If I ever find out who gave me that second upvote… I’d probably be like, “huh? What second upvote? What are we even talking about?”
gave you a downvote so it was not all for nothing
Norman Reedus sure likes his porn.
They should have done more penetration testing.
It wouldn’t have taken much effort to find that gaping back door.
They rushed. If you push it too fast it’ll blow up in your face.
Amateurs.
My stepmother works in that industry and could have helped with that.
You don’t happen to have a clothes dryer at home, do you?
Yes, but my step sister is stuck in that.
I know
What are you doing?
This why they are against store peoples ID. And this why those websites should never do it.
Yep - it’s a good thing they just IP block users in ID check states or this could have been REALLY bad.
The next argument would then be, “then the site should not exist”
Porn ban complete.
I’ll never understand why people create accounts in the first place
To curate and follow specific models of course. 😀
To argue in the comments 😅
I never saw it myself, but I heard someone posted the big moment of Avengers Endgame in the comments of a lot of videos.
We all saw that… cummin
Ranked matchmaking
Wanked matchmaking
Go on…
No, seriously, is the algorithm any good?

This sort of thing is one of those examples why “no log, no profile” service is probably a good idea. The service could have offered the option to charge a fee for access, but not retain customer activity data. They didn’t do that. At some point down the line, someone got ahold of the data, which I imagine that their customers are not really super keen on having floating around attached to their identities.
Probably a lot of companies out there that log and retain a lot of data about their customers.
Good idea for consumers. Too bad nobody cares about that. Unless it’s their core business.
This is exactly why we need GDPR
Too bad that’s being dismantled right now.
Depending on the industry you might be required by law to keep some information for a certain period of time.
Which is exactly why you want to deal with companies that don’t collect that data in the first place. You know, exactly what he said.
I’ve watched pornhub a million times, but my data isn’t in this breach. Know why? Because I never made a profile or gave them one shred of information in the first place. All they could possibly have is a browser fingerprint and my VPNs various IP addresses. That is the point.
Ok, but you’re also choosing to not use the features that would require an account. Not everyone has the same use case.
I don’t think the online porn industry has such legal requirements.
just serves as a reminder that we are all the “product.”
Why do you need to log into pornhub? I, um, a friend of mine, uses it fine without logging in…
There was a time when they were pushing the step sibling fetish real hard, like, all the videos in the front page were that, and then they put a banner saying “tired of seeing step____? Why not make an account and filter it out?”
lol, very gross. even the gay ones has incest-like, step gay bro/dad/.
Dunno about y’all but I can wank through the made up plot points without much trouble
If I could wank it to scrambled porn 30 years ago then any subtext or dialogue is like a fart in the wind once I get going.
your ability for suspension of dickbelief must be through the roof
I mean it takes almost zero, usually it’s just the titles.
That’s a good one
thank you, I was real proud
hah ! that’s brilliant
You can favorite things, and create lists. And their algorithm seems to show you things you might like based on that and your other views. I found it quite useful. Obviously I used a garbage email address.
They could still link your IP address to your porn profile
Maybe it’s akin to raising your arms submissively and having your thigh gap n junk get 3D scanned / inspected by a fully clothed TSA agent. Degrading, but not without a little thrill, no?
Florida here, gotta use my VPN anyway to get to PH. 🤷🏻♂️
They do attempt to, with cookies as well1. I suppose the upside of an account would be that you could carry your recommendations, etc. with you and have vpn on and/or cookies blocked.
1 I would never visit this site myself of course. this info was shared to me via an acquaintance ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )
You can follow uploaders, but since the mass removal of 85% of their videos I doubt the website has ever gotten better. I had a few favourites noted down but none of them exist now.
I mean, I’m not mad about why they removed so many videos. They had a massive CSAM and revenge porn problem, to the point that you could often find it on the front page. They also had really ineffectual methods for victims to report offending content, to get it taken down. There was also the whole “victim can only begin the takedown process (which likely won’t even get the video taken down) if they know it has been posted” problem. And their fix was to only allow uploads by verified users.
To download
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
Although I absolutely understand that the common folk will have a hard time downloading porn in the CLI.
You can use the yt-dlp executable in the Youtube-DLG GUI interface. The interface is fine, the only thing wrong with it was that the executable behind it couldn’t keep up with YT fuckery. They may have fixed it since then, but once I started manually updating it with yt-dlp I never stopped, so I don’t even know anymore. And I’m sure there are better alternatives, I just got used to using this one.
So if you want the GUI front end, it’s profoundly easy. Download Youtube-DLG, rename yt-dlp.exe to youtube-dl.exe, and then put it into the appropriate folder (%appdata%/youtube-dl/ on Windows). Overwrite or just delete the existing youtube-dl.exe because it doesn’t work anyway.
If you are installing Youtube-DLG for the first time you may have to manually install ffmpeg as well, if memory serves.
The sole drawback is that, for obvious reasons, updates are now manual. Every so often YT breaks it again and I just go download yt-dlp again, rename it, and put the new one in the Youtube-DLG folder. Job done.
That doesn’t sound easy at all for someone who lacks the technical ability to type/paste ”yt-dlp [URL]”
Eh, I used a one time email address generator before there were browser plugins to download embedded videos anyway, they can have my “data”.
There are sites where you just plug in the URL and the video downloads.
That’s what that is. You copy the link and type
yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQAnd it downloads, if you add -x between the command and the URL it extracts the MP3 (If you want music).
It has 100% less ads and malware than those shady websites (who are just running yt-dlp in the background).
If you want music
Sorry I had to laugh about that :) Yes, the soundtrack of porns is notoriously good lol (/s)
My guess is following content creators that you like, and some people pay for the creator’s premium videos.
They gave away free premium during the COVID-19 lockdowns
Sorry, but I don’t think we’re emphasising enough that Pornhub shared details of its users, such as their search history and watched videos, with an external company and that external company kept that data for over four years after their relationship ended.
I’ve read ‘the last legitimate login was in 2023’ so more like 2 years, but yeah
I don’t see any reference to 2023 in that article, but this:
Pornhub has not worked with Mixpanel since 2021, which means that the stolen data would be from that year or earlier
