But if the title were a more vague \u201cmother f\u2014s son,\u201d the video could stay up because it didn\u2019t explicitly state that the performers were related. <\/p>\n<p>The moderators were required to sift through as many as 400 videos per day, with some describing the workload as having an impact on their personal lives by diminishing or increasing their sex drives. <\/p>\n<p>Before Pornhub began receiving more scrutiny this year, the moderator said they would have allowed \u201cvideos depicting performers simulating scenes of sex involving a person who was asleep, some BDSM content, and videos with visible bottles of alcohol\u201d to make it onto the site. <\/p>\n<p>The team was also tasked with deciding which videos of people crushing animals would be allowed to remain on the site. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt one point we were debating what creatures were OK to be stepped on,\u201d the moderator said. \u201cCrickets, insects, and crawfish were OK, but not goldfish, because people have goldfish as pets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pornhub recently scrubbed more than 10 million videos from its site \u2014 the overwhelming majority of the smut that had been available \u2014 in a purge of illegal content after Visa and Mastercard cut ties with the site following a New York Times <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/12\/04\/opinion\/sunday\/pornhub-rape-trafficking.html\">report<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>In its biggest change, Pornhub will only allow verified users to upload videos to the site.
