Pornhub Monetization Just Maybe a Godsend

Just two days after dropping their nominees for the Pornhub Awards, the platform sent out a mass email to all of its creators. This email has been reaching all creators on Pornhub's platform, regardless of whether they're amateurs or pornstars, and everyone is giving their two cents on the new requirements implemented.

For as long as Pornhub has been a platform, content creators have used it to their hearts' content. In basic terminology, you made content, you dropped the content on the platform, and the more views it got, the more you were paid based on the worth of those views. An adult version of Youtube in a way. All one had to do was sit back and pretty much make money off the revenue they got from their content views. This was until Pornhub added their new requirements.

I don't know the entirety of the email Pornhub sent out, but the gist of it tells creators they'll have to drop at least a 7-minute video before April to continue earning revenue on the platform. If they don't, then they will lose the ability to earn revenue on the platform, and supposedly, all their videos will have to be this long in the future.

Many content creators, big and small, have made their hatred for this new rule loud and clear. Many believe a 7-minute video is too long and that it defeats the purpose of drawing fans to their official pages. All of them don't understand that with the little money they get from Pornhub as it is, these 7-minute videos are having many creators running to the next best thing.

My thoughts on the matter: This can be a big win for the hobby. With creators leaving Pornhub, they'll most likely move to the next big platform that pays the same, and as far as I know, there aren't a whole lot of platforms that were paying as well as Pornhub was. I say we'll be seeing an influx of providers in the coming months looking to make up for the money they lose with Pornhub. Now if only OnlyFans would do something like this.

I seriously doubt this will lead to an increase in escorts

I didn’t think creators made much of anything purely from Phub. It always seemed more like an ad platform to promote their OF/Manyvids, which is where they made most of their money.

They should put a quality requirement as well. It's amazing how many people pay for poorly shot/ low quality material from all these "content creators." Onlyfans and tube sights ruined good porn. Rant over.

As we all know, women are lazy. I agree with the OP, this should increase providers.

Many creators DO use PH as a advertising platform to send viewers to their OF, LF or whatever. AND, the creators are used to dropping shorter videos on those other platforms, which is why they are pissed, IMO.
That being said, I think PH is seeing this as a loss of minutes viewed and viewer retention. The studios that used to push up shorts and previews are just not doing that much anymore and content creators are making their own content now, pushing it to the platforms that make them the most income (as well as their own websites if they have one). PH is quickly being pushed out of the game.
The Texas AG just fined PH a massive amount for letting children enter the site without age verification, and continues a $100,000/day ongoing fine.
Regardless of how PH deals with that, the word is out, 'PH has money and the governments want it.'

I think the tube sites tried to make content creator sections of their site(s), but they just did not integrate well.
I think that eventually the same will happen to sites like OF,LF,J4F, etc. Content creators will eventually change their subscription fees to free and use those platforms as advertising portals to push to their own websites. Making 100% of your members is a LOT better than 80%. The only thing(s) stopping them right now is 1)The inability to create the website(s), technology-wise (or outside their budget, or 2) 80% is good enough for now to them.
But, in my opinion, it will happen eventually.

It doesn't matter how long a video is. I just skip to the good stuff anyway.
