Is YouPorn Safe?
By Timothy Tibbetts |
YouPorn was founded in 2006 and was the most popular free pornographic website at the time. Nowadays, YouPorn is a top 200 website and usually ranks as one of the top 10 adult websites gobbling up over 950 terabytes of bandwidth a day. They were purchased in 2011 by MindGeek, who owns quite a few pornographic websites, including the more popular PornHub. But, is YouPorn safe to use?
To answer the question and set the stage, let's discuss a little bit about YouPorn.
YouPorn's history isn't as exciting as PornHubs. We know that MindGeek owns them, and they don't seem to do any philanthropic work using the YouPorn name. Instead, they sponsored an esports team, Team YP, although the last we checked, they weren't sponsoring a team.
As odd as it might seem, YouPorn and parent company MindGeek try to make their websites unique by offering different angles, but really, that no longer exists. At one time, YouPorn was considered different for their amateur category. That raised concerns about the age of the people in the video and copyright claims, but much has changed since 2007, and those should no longer be concerns. We noticed that the bottom of every page seems to have a different description of what YouPorn does best, most likely done for SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
Now that you've spent more time reading this article than you would on a typical adult website, the short answer is yes. YouPorn is safe if you're careful about clicking ads. The type of ads include popups, popunders, and embedded. The type of ads run on an adult website are targets for malicious advertisers. But, as mentioned, MindGeek has a reputation for watching for and blocking malicious advertising.
YouPorn offers a monthly subscription for $9.99 with ad-free content, exclusive content, and high definition video. There's no yearly discount, unlike PornHub.
Of course, most of us don't spend more than 5 minutes on a porn site, or so I'm told, so be careful to avoid the ads. Many of the ads link to other adult websites who also want you to subscribe and many who don't offer any free content.
By the way, if you subscribe to YouPorn or tolerate their ads, you can undoubtedly whitelist MajorGeeks.
