X Tube/PornHub Dying?

I think that once the filming of people having sex went from an expression of being slutty, having fun, filming something naughty - and started to transition into a way for a lot of people to support themselves financially, or for porn stars to have some control over their content and not be treated like shit by studios - it really changed the way tube sites function. OnlyFans only compounded this. 

A lot of the same people end up working with eachother on OnlyFans, etc, filming the same sort of videos and I just don't think it's really the same as it was before people could make a living off of it. 

I get why tube sites and the people who perform on them monetized - but the videos you see now are basically no different than any mainstream studio at this point. 

 

You raise a good point. I don't think it contradicts my original point - most people in "amateur" films knew they were being filmed - but if the video's being made as a way to generate paying viewers, it's probably going to change how the sex unfolds. I think you see more editing after the fact with "amateur" video made for OF/JFF/etc. type sights, including more than one camera angle so you can make 3 minutes of fucking seem more like 9.

So I guess maybe what's changed is the purpose behind the video, as you note here; from a celebration of doing something kind of daring and slutty (letting people watch you have sex) to a supplemental income stream, small as it may be.

I don't think these porn sites will die as they do have really hot videos and well-made playlists. To be honest, you can find almost anything (legal of course) on Pornhub. I do see the amateur stuff is hot and love to see it, but most people are still into professional filming. When people just want a quickie and don't want to pay, they can click on a porn site, set the filter, find what your like, and enjoy.

On Xtube I see more and more amateurs who just post 30 second extracts from a vid with a referral to their paid site (OF/JFF or whatever) for the full video. That's a bummer. I can understand you have a paid site if you are a porn professional but as an amateur you really need to have a high production to keep your subscribers happy I think? I wouldn't pay $$$ for just one or two new videos per month or so. And then those may not even be to your liking.

I'm not going to pay dozens of $$ every month to subscribe to all those guys. Since I haven't tried it I don't know how the payment works but I also wouldn't feel comfortable giving my credit card details to an anon amateur (unless it is through PayPal or something).

I post video there for free, but need to find a few guys to breed my ass on cam.

the credit card doesn't go through the performer, the site (OF/JFF) takes the money and their cut and pays out the performer.

Maybe I'm a luddite but I will never pay money for amateur porn, I just refuse to. Those xtube users who do nothing but put 30 seconds clips with link to their onlyfans get immediately deleted from my subscriptions.

And my personal tragedy is that normal porn won't do anymore, I'm tired sick of 2 hours long movies made of mechanical blowjobs, guys moaning like cats in heat/saying "yeah oh yeah yeah oh yeah". It's sad but it's the direction porn is going to, just without my money to encourage it.

I agree, except I can still do TIM porn, but even that is becoming more choreographed. I have one OF account. But Guys of XTube we’re getting greedy tho charging $15 for a 10 min tire video with no faces.

Onlyfans is terrible.  They bait you with 30 sec video snips and then when you subscribe, so far out of 10 subscriptions, all t same.  Majority of the that 30 sec clip turns out to be 1-2 mins...total rip LOL.  Then you get spammed with all these shout outs in attempt to get you  to subscribe to other models which they make a referral cut.  

Then they try to spam you once per day with longer versions of "exclusive " contents for 8.99 to 20 each.  Some dude who was whatevers even tried to charge $50 !! Totally not worth the money.  The platform is a complete rip.

That is the problem with OF. Since there is barely any info on their page (you see nothing before paying), it is a gamble to figure out who has what. I have only subscribed to performers who have leaked videos that can testify to their quality and quantity.

My take really is this, Xtube and Pornhub are in a decline, but not to the point that it'll die outright.  It's really more in the fact that with stuff like Onlyfans/JustForFans and the like being around. they're giving "more bank for your dollar", depending on the type of content that they're showcasing and if they're doing it monthly instead of just paying so much per video.

 

Xtube and sites like it will be around for a while longer, but they do need to do something to keep up with the OF/JFF type sites, without trying to nickel and dime us for content that we all can enjoy.

I only discovered today that Xtube won't let you upload vids unless you ask people to pay.  So where else? ThisVid?

[Weak4It]

Yeah on Xtubes I logged in after a year only to find many of the videos I favortied are no longer there.  Like others, I hate porn that has actors inthem.  That was why xtube was so great!

[NLbear]

I read on a few blogs that Xtube has been removing vids from regular posters without their consent. Also a few said they could only upload paid content. Which isn't entirely true as I still see some free uploads. But quite a few of my favs have announced they will stop uploading and refer to their OF or other paid platforms.

As I see it Xtube is shooting itself in the foot. Pity.

I have not been active on Xtube for about a year+.  I suppose the reason is that the content deteriorated for the reasons other guys have already detailed.  I logged on after seeing all of these comments.  All my content was deleted and the site said it was removed by the content owner.  I didn't remove any of it, so I suppose that means Xtube removed it.  Somewhere within the process of uploading, perhaps there was notification that posting content to Xtube gave them ownership of it?

[nicejock65]

My videos were deleted says by owner?  Most of my favorites are gone now too and most of my friends on xtube have had all their content deleted.  Wow what are they thinking?
