Money Shot: The Pornhub Story
Based on the information that 'typing 'p' into a search engine is enough to get to pornhub', I typed 'p' into google and the result was hilarious.
It was nothing but a few seconds of lost time that I had to search on the back of a so-called word of mouth!
But this won't just be about a few seconds lost, it could be about the unnecessary waste of nearly two hours, or it could be about the curiosity that arose.
Let's listen to pornhub's theme music first!
Is there anyone who hasn't heard this music or has no idea what it is when they hear it?
I don't think there are many people who have reached adolescence or above who haven't heard this music. What am I basing this on?
Of course, because of the site's 3 billion daily ad views.
Do you remember the first porn you ever watched?
The documentary titled Money Shot: The Pornhub Story, which started with an interview with the answers to this question, focuses on porn and pornography, and deals with the porn industry through pornhub.
After watching all those interviews, let me give my own answer.
No, I don't remember the first porn I saw, but I remember renting a CD. I remember the first erotic movie I saw, but...
...I think this detail shows that I don't like erotic movies because I'm better at memorizing what I don't like.
If my memory serves me right, it's called 'And God Created Woman'.
If I go back to the documentary film Money Shot: The Pornhub Story, it examines the effects of the internet's role in the porn industry and the point where the money earned through sex workers brought the prominent porn site like pornhub and the site managers/employees.
Featuring interviews with performers, activists and past employees, this documentary offers a deep dive into the successes and scandals of Pornhub.
The process, which includes scandals such as the uploading, viewing and downloading of illegal, non-consensual videos, reveals many tragic stories.
The story of a 14-year-old girl who met and fell in love with a man one year older than her and the video exchange between them is just one of the scandalous stories.
I assume that you understand the content of the video that the girl sent to the man she fell in love with. Later, the struggle of the girl who saw her own video on the pornhub site to get the video removed turned into a struggle that threatened the whole sector, while details such as the sanctions against the uploaders of the videos and the pornhub managers and employees being held responsible and stepping back are given.
The use and monetization of illegal and non-consensual footage is, of course, an unspeakable abomination.
The words of porn stars who identify themselves as sex workers in interviews and say that they are consensual are too real to be ignored.
These people, who have adapted the difficulties and advantages they have encountered while trying to make money by producing their own content without being affiliated with a movie studio, believe that without the earnings they get from sites like pornhub, they would have to work as sex workers in worse conditions.
There is some truth in what they say. When this opportunity is taken away from someone who creates content by shooting their own videos in the room of their house, they will be dragged into the sphere of influence of others. And their sphere of influence is to work for a studio or to work for someone who will market their bodies and make money from them!
It should not be so difficult to ignore sensitive issues such as the uploading and distribution of pictures, videos and similar materials belonging to minors and somehow obtained illegally on the internet and to remove them when requested.
It is common to be labeled as a 'pornographer' when one opposes censorship on the internet. It may not apply everywhere, but I know there are places where it does.
Owners and workers in the industry argue that they should be included in the scope of freedom, and agree that illegal and non-consensual content should be removed. The opposing view is that all porn sites should be shut down and then downsized.
At this point, the fact that pornhub had to delete nearly 10 million pieces of content in one night seems like a success for the opponents.
Access to the site is banned in my country and I don't know enough about its current state, but according to the documentary I watched, sharing content on pornhub can only be done by people who have been authenticated and given permission in advance. Almost all videos uploaded by unknown people have been deleted/removed!
An average of 3 billion ad views per day, which is only for a single site, can also lead to a different view of the industry.
For me, it is a subtle issue, its presence or absence is not a problem. I am someone who knows how to close my eyes and not look when necessary... I also think that work should be done faster to eliminate the difficulties faced by those who are victimized in similar situations.
Of course, I'm against censorship, but the abuse of freedom and the billions of dollars being made in the process is very disturbing.
You can watch the documentary film Money Shot: The Pornhub Story, which includes interviews of advocates, employees and opponents, if it triggers your sense of curiosity. Although the subject is the point that the porn industry has reached on the internet, there are no pornographic images in the movie! For me, the missing hour and a half and the text he left behind will remain.
