Was surprised to see this....

 

GOODBYE XTUBE

It's a sad day for us at XTube but we have to announce that after 13 years, XTube.com will be shutting down on September 5th.

We're proud of the vibrant community we've built since 2008 and we're grateful to you, our amazing users who have shared and purchased content on our platform over the years. Unfortunately, it's time for us to move on to greener pastures and greater things.

Since XTube will be closing effective September 5th, purchasing additional XTube Credits and purchasing VIP or XTube Premium subscriptions has been disabled. You can continue purchasing amateur content with your account’s XTube Credits until September 5th, after which you will no longer be able to do so, nor have access to your account.

If you are a VIP or XTube Premium subscriber, your last billing month will be July 2021. Beginning August 2021, your subscription will be cancelled automatically.

Please continue enjoying gay adult content on one of our sister sites, PornHub or Men.com.

To our wonderful users, we thank you for your continued support over the years.

The amount of porn on the web is gigantic.  It's virtually unlimited.  As one site bites the dust, another pops up.  No one will be hurtin for porn.  Every facet, every kink, every taboo, every type.  It's endless.  It might just take a couple more clicks.

I could find things easier on XTube and liked it much more than Pornhub.

I thought Pornhub had been banned for some time in Thailand for including something about a certain family about whom nothing can be said!

I thought the reason XTube was going away was because of its problems with revenge porn and the like, no? I thought I heard it let anybody post anything pornographic without any checks at all.

Xtube is actually a "part" of Pornhub which is owned by MindGeek.  As with so many international conglomerates, it's both fun and surprising to find out who owns who.  Pepsi owns Quaker Oats.  Mars Candy owns Pedigree Petfoods.  Disney owns Lucas Films.  J&J owns Splenda.  

 

Founded in 2006 by Ontario, Canada-based Webnovas Technologies, Xtube is owned by MindGeek,^[4] having been acquired between 2006 and 2010 by the then managing partner of MindGeek (then known as Manwin) Fabian Thylmann.^[5][6] It is part of the Pornhub NETWORK, which is a group of interlinked pornographic video sharing websites, most of which are owned by MindGeek.^[4]

MindGeek (formerly Manwin) is a privately held Canadian company^[8] that primarily focuses on pornography.^[1] It is owned by Feras Antoon, Bernd Bergmair (Bernard Bergemar), David Marmorstein and newly Leonardo DaSilva^[4][9] and operates many popular pornographic websites,^[10] including video sharing services Pornhub, RedTube, and YouPorn, as well as adult film production companies Brazzers, Digital Playground, Men.com, Reality Kings, Sean Cody, and WhyNotBi.com, among others.^[11] MindGeek is headquartered in Luxembourg, and maintains additional offices in Bucharest, Dublin, London, Los Angeles, and Montreal.^[12][13] A spokesperson for the company stated that they are "one of the top five bandwidth consumption companies in the world".^[14]

supposedly and according to media reports at the time, it was banned. It may even have actually been blocked for a little while. But no so long after the announcement of the ban, I tried it from my home in BKK and in worked just fine. I believe it still works right now
