The Pornography Industry's Dark Underbelly

The episode becomes an investigative segment as Theo reads from multiple sources documenting the scale and harm of the pornography industry. [1] — Theo Von "Pornhub was the fifth most visited website on earth in 2020, receiving 170 million daily visits. The platform operated for years requiring …" 1:23:10 Pornhub was the 5th most visited website globally by December 2020, with 170 million daily visits and 62 billion annual visits. The amount of content uploaded in a single year would take 169 years to watch. He then moves to the darker material: the Broward County, Florida case in which a 15-year-old missing girl was found in 58 monetized Pornhub videos only after a user recognized her; the London Sunday Times investigation that located videos of children as young as three within minutes; and Lila Mickelwait's test of Pornhub's upload system, which required only an email address — no ID, age verification, or consent verification. He identifies MindGeek, now rebranded to AYLO under parent company Ethical Capital Partners, and names the key leadership. He also reads from a January 2023 whistleblower complaint filed with the U.S. Treasury alleging that Visa and MasterCard failed to stop their networks from processing proceeds from child sexual abuse material on OnlyFans. Steven and Theo close the segment by noting that the companies running these platforms are, as Theo puts it, 'the Sacklers of pornography.'
Pornhub, MindGeek, and the Business of Exploitation
Pornhub was the fifth most visited website on earth in 2020, receiving 170 million daily visits. The platform operated for years requiring only an email address to upload content — no age verification, no consent checks. A 15-year-old missing girl was found in 58 monetized Pornhub videos. The London Sunday Times found videos of children as young as three within minutes. These facts sit behind a parent company called Ethical Capital Partners.
Pornhub: 170M visits/day in 2020
By December 2020, Pornhub was the 5th most visited website in the world, receiving approximately 170 million visits per day and 62 billion visits per year.
15-year-old missing girl found in 58 videos
A 15-year-old girl missing for a year was found only after a Pornhub user recognized her and tipped off her mother; police found her in 58 monetized videos on the site.
Pornhub required only email to upload video
Anti-trafficking advocate Lila Mickelwait tested Pornhub's upload process and found that all it took was an email address — no ID, age, or consent verification required — to upload a video.
