Before the content purge on Sunday evening, Pornhub hosted around 13.5 million videos according to the number displayed on the site's search bar, a large number of them from unverified accounts. On Monday morning as of 9 a.m., that search bar is showing only 4.7 million videos, meaning Pornhub removed most of the videos on its site, including the most-viewed non-verified amateur video, which had more than 29 million views. That number briefly went back up to 7.2 million, so at the moment it’s unclear how many videos will be removed.

A lot of unverified videos on Pornhub aren’t even porn. People uploaded pirated full-length movies to Pornhub, as well as memes and jokes.

I had never even heard of Pornhub until I clicked on this link.

I am now officially old.

It was, until yesterday, like Youtube, except for, well, porn. (And there seems to be an unhealthy obsession with stepsister porn there. Do NOT ask me why; it's not my thing.)
