PornHub is being touted as a real, possible YouTube alternative https://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2018/3/24/17159474/pornhub-gun-videos-youtube-alternative-platform-ad-revenue

The search began when people began posting screenshots of gun videos — content that YouTube recently announced it was placing stricter restrictions on — that ended up in PornHub’s safe-for-work section. Gun videos are now part of a YouTube policy prohibiting certain kinds of content that are strictly prohibited, and will be removed from the website.

Price’s comparison of PornHub’s ad revenue model to YouTube’s may be tantalizing for people being kicked off the latter platform, but a big factor that holds people back is PornHub’s affiliation with, well, porn. Although some are using PornHub’s safe for work section as a way to test out the site, there’s no question that even PornHub’s safe-for-work content still borders sexually explicit material.

That may change, though, according to PornHub’s senior community manager, who goes by Katie. On Reddit, she addressed a question about PornHub developing a section of the site that wasn’t connected to PornHub’s sexually explicit content, one which could offer an alternative to YouTube creators who wanted to look elsewhere.
