Porn On YouTube

Flagged for inappropriate content.

As this article points out, the online video upload behemoth YouTube is struggling somewhat with trying to keep pornography off its servers, a problem that they will simply never solve, as far as i'm concerned.

It's probably quite a damning indictment of the state of sites like Porno Tube and You Porn that people still feel the need to try and get their porn fix through a site that quite clearly hasn't been created for those purposes.

Why are people still trying it on YouTube? They know it will be taken down pretty soon, so I don't really see the point of doing this. Why not pour your time into trying to get this stuff on to video sites set up for this purpose?

Well, there are some rumblings going through the industry that some porn companies are trying to buy themselves some cheap and quick publicity by putting clips of their stuff up for a little while before it gets taken down.

But I don't believe it for one second. Porn companies trying to spam sites in an attempt to buy some quick subscriptions? Disgraceful! It just wouldn't ever happen, would it?

Being serious for one second though, maybe if these specifically porn-aimed sites actually sorted themselves out properly and became altogether more accessible to the mass porn market rather than the poorly presented mess they currently are, then maybe people wouldn't target YouTube.
