Pornhub is actually a good guy in porn. They deleted junk a few years ago, added filters. Now it requires proof and has transparent monetization. Close to million sex workers would loose income, if it has to shutdown. They would go from cam to streets... There are several other websites that behave worse, even Twitter or Reddit allows non-consensual (warez) video links.

Yes. I've never heard of another free porn site deleting 2/3 of its total content and switching to verified-only uploads.

  And if you really think about it, that makes it a much more relaxed wank. I'm mostly into very normie porn but i'd imagine the BDSM Community wouldn't mind being pretty sure that the content is consensual and verifiably so. Especially when it comes to edge cases like "consensual non-consent" etc.

    Unfortunately, even with studio-shot material there is an unholy lot of content floating around where the performers were coerced, exploited or sometimes outright raped [1] [2].

      Sadly that's always a possibility. Oversharing a little bit here but i personally prefer pseudo-amateur content made by the people that upload it and interact with the community. One can't guarantee it's not such a situation but it's at least a lot less likely
