There are so many Youtube knockoff sites out there that it gives me a headache to even think about trying to list them all. So, thank you, Youtube, for raising the bar and changing the porn game for the better. Youtube has contributed greatly to the world of online porn, regardless of how inadvertent that contribution may have been.
I have my own opinions on Youtube based on certain policies of theirs in terms of censorship and copyright enforcement, but I’m just saying, I have to give credit where credit’s due. People expect, partly because of Youtube, to be able to comment on videos, “like” or “dislike” videos, compile playlists, and easily share their favorite porn with the rest of the world. It is no longer enough for a site to simply host or link videos. Now sites like Porn Hub, Red Tube, and xHamster have taken that same formula and provided amazing porn experiences with it. Youtube was the first site to successfully merge social media with videos. I mean, think about it, even the most popular porn sites on the web are referred to as porn “tube” sites and are designed to emulate Youtube. This is important for us pornoholics to recognize and respect because so many of our favorite sites are based on the Youtube model. It established the precedent for how video sites would be designed from that point forward. My Vidster! Youtube completely altered the course of the internet when it first launched on Valentine’s Day of 2005.
