Should they allow porn? What kinds?

I'm okay with YouTube allowing porn, so long as it's legal. Why not? I mean, I understand why they don't want that as a business, but I feel it would benefit most consumers. You could just choose not to use it. I think there are far worse things (from an outrage perspective, obviously subjective) than porn on YouTube already.

  The domestic porn industry on the web is facing a lot growing pains right now. PornHub, arguably the poster child for "doing it right," was forced to remove all unverified user-uploaded videos last year[0]. Porn on YouTube cannot exist, legally, in the same way your ideal scenario implies. 0. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55304115 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55304115

    Shall we also start devoting resources towards investigating all of the sneakernet crimes that are occurring?

    Pornhub didn't do it right. They choose being able to process Mastercards over any other consideration. A ban on underage rape videos followed by hiring mods to enforce this would have been doing it right. I'm surprised they made that choice it must have been the most profitable path. I guess the producers left are the big businesses who create premium streams who pornhub can upsell to. Did they kill their brand?

      I don’t see a way of pornhub realistically fixing its problem with human moderators. They would have to comb through thousands of already existing content AND combat against incoming content. And this isn’t something they can take time to do (time I don’t even believe is physically possible with human mods). It’s either they immediate and effectively remove all child porn off their site or lose even more Potnetial revenue AND run into legal trouble. The only absolute way to ensure that they have no child porn is to nuke every unverified video on the site. I have no idea if pornhub as a site would be as successful without it’s unverified model in the beginning.

Anything that is legal should be allowed (what's wrong with porn?)... They already track you a lot and know your age even if you don't tell them so it would not be a problem to prevent kids from seeing it (nothing is foolproof but it is not a reason to restrict free speech)
