Can anyone eli5 why pornhub doesn’t just use their long standing streaming infrastructure to create a sfw site like… Idk “VidHub”? I feel like they could be a genuine competition with very little adjustment.
Youtube is waaaay different from pornhub. The amount of people uploading porn doesnt even begin to approach the amount of people uploading sfw content.
You can feasibly make people pay for porn, especially if you get a hot girl to advertise the content to lonely men.
SFW content though? How do you convince someone to pay for a gaming VOD, or some other type of mundane content? Hosting sfw video is just not profitable on the scale that youtube does it. Not without the backing of some SERIOUS money 😬

Youtube had $28.8b in revenue in 2021. While revenue isn’t profit, I can’t imagine it’s losing money with that much revenue. It’d be hard for someone else to duplicate it, but not impossible if they have a strong business plan from the start.
or Vimeo setting up a more ‘community’-oriented form of itself, with free uploads etc. Or Flickr going in for long-form video. Could something like that rival YT?
