This was something bugging me last time a struggle happened during pornhub getting rid of unverified vids. At the end of the day a corporation got rid of everything they couldn't make profit off of. A fetish voice actress I liked got her vids removed, luckly she had other vids on another site. A lot of peeps in the thread where just like you only need to show your face to be verified and that's it. She didn't and probably has her reasons why.
In another porn thread that day I tried recommending a cool series of interviews from revolutionary lumpen radio on sex work with interviews with sex workers. Don't know how many checked those out.
Anyways solidarity, you probably gonna get a lot of shit here. I think being a swerf is easier to fall into than some of us may realize on the left.
Less to do with better or worse but the idea of where to post. These companies are companies and can set up the conditions of what and who can post. For a while the joke was if you can't post it on youtube go to pornhub. I think the saying goes critical support. Revenge, child and rape got removed and that's good. This still means that the company can change policy at anytime without giving a heads up to the base and everyone has to deal with it. There is no public forum that I can think of online for this. Not suggesting an anything goes libertarian hell pit but more a place where the base can come up with rules like no child, revenge, or rape. As is currently don't think it's possible because a barrier to entry is money. If sex workers and the like made one it be subject to harassment from reactionary right wingers that target sex workers ability to make money.
Some of the most vocal on the original thread were like either you support this or your a pedo selfish creep. Maybe it be best consulting with sex workers for opinions since they the most affected by this. Was reluctant to write but think backing up more marginalized comrades important. Many reasons to go into sex work and think it be good to respect her and others agency and choices. I am aware that under capitalism we don't have no choice but to do what we need to survive.
Will write more but pressed for time will be back.
I agree with a lot of what you, the OP and others in this thread are saying, but to be verified on PornHub you have to send them a picture of your face that only the PornHub admin staff see and will not be public. There are many verified people on there that never show their face in any of their videos on there. Even before the change being verified was required to earn money on that website. I understand not wanting to go though the verification process because you don't trust them, but then using another website or platform is better.
I would like to know more about this voice actress in question but don't wanna pry. From what I know she used the site more as a means to host and promote herself. She accepted commissions and scripts for like $15 dollars like on twitter or else where but used the site as a means to put her content out there on a platform. She also got commissions in the comments. Like I said she had a back up and still doing them but I wonder if this kind of thing persists what she do. Don't know how cool Pantheon is with sex work. And only fans takes a cut not to mention competition is pretty huge. She into a niche fetish btw.
