- ramesh31 5y agoThe web badly needs a video site on the scale of Youtube that isn't beholden to the nonsense puritanical values of big tech. Still keep it free of anything illegal or copyright infringing, but allow people to do whatever they want otherwise. Pornhub is in a great spot where they could rebrand and do this.
- sideproject 5y agoNot sure how directly related, but I've been using Pyro to build my own video gallery site. https://www.pyro.app https://www.pyro.app Here's an example site that I built https://flyn.app/ https://flyn.app/ I watch a lot of swimming videos and it's hard to curate and collect them all in one single place. Pyro has features that let me do that. But it also lets you upload videos directly.
- joe_the_user 5y agoI'd find it more interesting if they did more an "expand brand". Playboy Magazine back in the day had both porn and substantial reporting. "Sure and I bet you Playboy for the interviews" was a standard wisecrack. Porn is incredibly profitable and they probably couldn't get more money featuring non-porn content. But they could gain credibility if they became a safe harbor for worthwhile content unfairly harassed by youtube.
- jedimastert 5y ago> nonsense puritanical values of big tech I don't think it's "big tech" that has these issues. Pornhub is big tech too... The problem is that you have you walk on egg shells for anything that could come even remotely close to children, and really a lot of the American (even though they may like to think otherwise) a not-insignificant portion of the European market will give absolutely credence to anything that doesn't explicitly ban sexual things. Look at what happened to OnlyFans. That wasn't big tech, that was the financial institutions, and the same group that did that is targeting Pornhub next.
- Johnny555 5y agothe same group that did that is targeting Pornhub next I thought they already did target pornhub, which is what led to a big purge of content from Pornhub: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/12/visa-mastercard-investigate-pornhub-amid-allegations-of-child-exploitation/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/12/visa-mastercard-... Are they coming back for more?
- jedimastert 5y agoThe group largely behind both of these things, Exodus Cry, is a Christian non-profit seeking the complete abolition of sex work, including making and distributing pornography.
- Barrin92 5y agoThe problem isn't the site as much as it is puritanical society. As soon as the site moves towards more diverse content that isn't porn they start to smell the ad-dollars which come with the puritanism. Exactly what (almost) happened to Onlyfans once they attempted to pivot towards non-adult content.
- goodpoint 5y ago> nonsense puritanical values Such as?
- rtsil 5y agoFacebook removing images of Courbet's painting L'Origine du Monde, the Venus of Willendorf, or Youtube restricting a videoclip from Brassens' Les Passantes to 18+ viewers. All perfect examples of nonsense puritanical values that Big Tech applies indiscriminately regardless of the audience's values. And sure, in these examples they backtracked, but only because these created massive negative buzzes, but what about all the other cases that didn't trend on Twitter or made the frontpage news?
- CoastalCoder 5y ago> The web badly needs a video site on the scale of Youtube that isn't beholden to the nonsense puritanical values of big tech. Are you objecting to YouTube's content being restricted by any value system whatsoever, or just Puritanical values in particular? I'm just trying to understand your point. Definitely an interesting topic either way.
- fullshark 5y agoWhat content is not on youtube other than pornography that you can chalk up to Puritanism?
- josefresco 5y agoThere's D.Tube and PeerTube
- anomie31 5y agoLuckily, YouTube is not the web, and the web is still open, so anyone can share videos on their own terms, even from their own house if they wanted to.
- Gosbxv 5y agoJust curious, how many people here have been taught calculus and never used it? Upvote if you put your hand up.
- forinti 5y agoI wonder how many people could have used it and just didn't realise it was the tool they needed.
- handrous 5y agoI really do wonder sometimes if a series of "recognizing which kind of math you need to google" courses would be more useful for the vast majority of people than traditional math courses are, past elementary school. [EDIT] Making the later high school math classes and early university math classes focus entirely on practical application might also be a good idea. I have a feeling it would turn off ~0% people who will eventually become mathematicians, and then the other 200 people in that one mathematician's graduating high school class might actually use what they learned every now and then, once out of school.
- mywittyname 5y agoIsn't that what calculus (the math course) is? I mean, I don't recall the exact recipe for most calculus operations, even though I spent hours in college learning them. But I do know that I can build a taylor series* to approximate certain functions, and that it will be pretty quick and have a bounded error. * Use Wolfram Alpha
- handrous 5y agoMost math classes are kinda that, but you could get a lot more covered if you focused more on "here's a real world problem, 1) what sorts of math do you need to solve it? 2) OK, now solve it and apply the result (you may use the Web, calculators, apps, whatever)" than "here's how you mechanically follow through with that".

- tombert 5y agoI always wondered if you could exploit the niche and largely-uncensored nature of Pornhub to share "whatever you want", particularly if you don't care if your work is monetized. I tend to have a fairly dark sense of humor, and while I don't think I would say anything that would get me banned from YouTube, it would also be interesting to completely avoid any kind of worrying about violating a TOS.
- gambiting 5y agoFrom what I understand PornHub actually has more strict user verification than YouTube for uploads, so no, that would be a really bad place for it. Now, a place like motherless, with only a marginal amount of moderation to filter out the illegal stuff....maybe.
- jdavis703 5y agoThe OP wants to avoid censorship. They did not mention wanting anonymity. For example I used to shoot a lot of artistic nude photography. I published the work under my own name. I had no desire to hide my name, and thus my primary concern were using platforms that allowed my content. Now of course some people will want to publish their work anonymously. But free speech does not require anonymity.
- gambiting 5y agoYes, but if you get banned for uploading copyrighted content on PH once then you're banned for life as opening another account and verifying it would be very hard.
- jdavis703 5y agoPerhaps we differ on the meaning of free speech, but I do not believe copyright itself is a violation of the spirit off free speech. In a sense copyright can be seen as enabling more free speech, since it enables people the opportunity to support themselves through artistic & intellectual pursuits that would otherwise be unprofitable without copyright protections.
- tanseydavid 5y agoThis is like a faint callback-reference to a Robin Williams stand-up bit which called Viagra a pill that would make you "harder than Chinese Algebra".
- gotostatement 5y agowtf is chinese algebra
- micah94 5y agoyou know...like chinese is hard. And algebra is hard. Put them both together, it's double hard.
- ajford 5y agoYou thought solving for X was hard... wait till you're solving for 你好! I doubt there's much behind the joke beyond the stereotype of "Asians being good at math", tbh. My Algebra teacher in school once solved a system of equations on the board using the Batman logo/symbol, a Peace sign, and a happy face. Just to illustrate the concept of variables since a few people were having issues grokking the concept.
- martincmartin 5y agoI thought that was a Tom Waits song, "Pasties and a G-String."
- hehetrthrthrjn 5y ago"It's OK mom I'm studying calculus"
- jimt1234 5y ago"Your father's been 'studying' a lot lately, too."
- irrational 5y ago"Yeah, Dad says you were a lot more helpful with this kind of stuff before you got married."
