    Honestly, Pornhub has the infrastructure to take on Youtube, if they wanted. If they just cloned the site, sans content, and called it Videohub, there would immediately be a real contender in the marketplace.

      Pornhub ads don’t bother me. They are annoying, and too loud but 4 seconds is like the magic number. And you only watch it once i think.
