Pornhub Deletes About 60% of It's Videos, Will Only Allow 'Official Content Partners'

If you want amateur porn, OnlyFans is about to be just about the only place you can pay for it.

Pornhub finally caved after victims of revenge porn demanded the videos of them be removed from the site.

Now Pornhub is changing its policies to ban unverified uploaders altogether. This comes after Mastercard and Visa decided to drop the platform entirely.

Pornhub has already deleted 9 million videos from the site.

"As part of our policy to ban unverified uploaders, we have now also suspended all previously uploaded content that was not created by content partners or members of the Model Program," said Pornhub's announcement. "This means every piece of Pornhub content is from verified uploaders, a requirement that platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat and Twitter have yet to institute."

Previously, anyone could create an account on Pornhub and upload any video they wanted to, since the platform's launch in 2007.

Before the mass video deletion on Sunday evening, Pornhub hosted around 13.5 million videos according to the number displayed on the site's search bar. As of Monday morning that search bar is showing only 4.7 million videos. That number briefly went back up to 7.2 million, so it’s unclear exactly how many videos will be removed.

Verified users, according to Pornhub, are currently people who have submitted a selfie of themselves holding a piece of paper with their username and pornhub.com, and the requirements for verification are going to rise.

That probably also means video uploads titled things like “German men gangbang Brazilians” mocking Brazil for losing the World Cup are going to fall. A dark day for comedy!
