How can Pornhub save cryptocurrency lovers from YouTube?

Today, many tech channels are migrating from YouTube to Pornhub to avoid censoring the platform. This means that the creators of cryptocontent can follow this example. The first adult sites began to use hacker educational channels for personal gain. First of all, because YouTube has banned the publication of such content on its platform. Among the well-known defectors, one can single out ThugCrowd - a channel that left the platform from Google last year. NotDan decided to follow this example.


This is what non-Dan tweeted the day before.

My hacker channel on Pornhub is already LAUNCHED! Check out my new video (about USB-C) and get ready for new content! In addition, I will gradually upload all my videos from the archive here.

Recall that in the last year YouTube has a fairly strict censorship policy. Hacker channels were accused of advertising illegal activities, and parkour lovers were deprived of monetization due to the fact that they penetrated the prohibited territories. At the end of last year, channels that talked about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies fell under the distribution. True, as it turned out later, this happened by mistake. Although in January, representatives of the cryptocommunity again complained about problems.

But despite the fact that YouTube allegedly tried to restore justice, all new crypto channels are still blocked since January. And on many once popular channels there are special tags that call into question their activities.

Why do cryptocurrencies need Pornhub?
Here's what Alex Saunders, founder of Nugget’s News, told the crypto-information magazine Decrypt in a short interview.

 Of course, we have already discussed this, since the agenda is a big wash led by YouTube. There is some ambiguity here, so we would hardly begin to redirect all our traffic to an adult site. But if you keep content there as a fallback, then why not?

In turn, Saunders said that he did not go down this path, as he uploads his videos on several decentralized video platforms, including LBRY.

We live in a very funny time when Pornhub is safer for creators of useful content than platforms that are specifically designed for this.

And he is not the only one who thinks so. For example, yet another youtuber Ivan Lillequist claims that “recent reprisals on YouTube could be a great opportunity for Pornhub.”

This is a free market at its best. If some content is not welcome on one platform, then there will be another that takes advantage of this opportunity.

However, he also added that he himself would not use the site for adults.

What do they think about this on the Pornhub video platform itself? They not only accepted NotDan with open arms, but also stated that they were happy to host even more useful content. This is how Corey Price, platform vice president, commented on this event.

Pornhub welcomes all content, whether pornographic or not, provided that it complies with our terms of service. Moreover, we have the category “safe for work”, which contains content without exposure. We constantly strive to diversify content and meet the needs of our entire user base.

That is, fans of cryptocurrencies on the site will also be happy.

It is worth noting that the platform collaborates not only with crypto enthusiasts, but also with musicians. For example, Borgore and Mykki Blanco, among others, performed on the site of the premiere of music videos.

As a result, if YouTube is not able to cope with crypto content, then there will always be others where such useful content will only be welcome. The best part is that you can now go to Pornhub without a twinge of conscience and without an invisibility mode - for new knowledge.
