PornHub is a commercial adult entertainment website that offers a wide variety of pornographic videos, images, and related content. Established in 2007 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, it operates as part of the @MindGeek network of adult sites. The platform allows both professional studios and amateur creators to upload and monetize content, with revenue generated through advertising, premium subscriptions, and partnerships. Over time, PornHub has expanded to include features such as user accounts, playlists, and interactive elements. It has been the subject of public discussion and controversy, particularly regarding the hosting of non-consensual content, prompting policy reforms, content moderation changes, and removal of unverified videos in 2020. The site remains one of the most visited websites globally, with a significant cultural and economic footprint in the adult entertainment industry, influencing debates around online regulation, sex work, and digital ethics.
