End of an Era?

I don't wanna be "that guy" that can't adapt to changing times - continuing to sell the best buggy whips ever made while the rest of the world is moving onto the automobile - so perhaps it time for me to acknowledge that the era of people uploading home made porn clips for others to jerk off to has passed.

After a pretty long hiatus, I tried to upload a new clip and found that xHamster now requires you to be "verified" in order to upload - which brings me to a likely fork in the road.

There's something a bit unsettling about scanning in my driver's license and sending it to a porn site run out of the Czech Republic (allegedly) and trusting that it will forever and always be safe, secure and not misused, so I'm not going to be going down that path.

I'm not going to be worried about it at the moment but I must admit that it is a bit of a bummer - both because I still have thousands of videos and tens of thousands of photos to share and because I suspect that it's not just xHamster that will be operating like this going forward.

This could be the start of a "new normal", which means that casual sharing of home made videos is at an end.

C'est la vie.

Site and [some] states requiring ID feels like it all but begs people to pivot to paid modeling. For some the need of ID was the stopping point to begin with. And the alleged payout rates I don't think this site can thrive with exception to those who keep their older content uploaded. Like you said, it was a fun experiment and 18-20 year ago so was the now defunct XT. I'd say at least it stops content theft, but that still straddles a line. ID certainly has hurt the "exhibition" side of porn.

Been a year, you find a new site yet? You had great content. Hope you make a comeback one of these days.

Anonymity should be a given when it comes to sharing amateur pornography. I'll keep coming to xHamster to watch existing stuff, but I'm damn well not going to verify my identify for them. I suppose the next step is they'll make this a 100% pay site, at which point I'm done.

I agree, it's ludicrous to have to send copies of your ID's. 
Hope you find a better place!

Turn this into a 'writer's website' It has always done a fair job at keeping the bloggashere going

I fully sympathise and I fear you are right... Damn everything to do with this New Normal, Build Back Better New World Order Surveillance Society crap. You did some great videos and photos as did I, but no way am I risking giving some dubious site my personal details, no way.

Just found you and I'm fantasizing of having my holes destroyed by you ?... maybe you could create a Twitter account (discovering the porn Twitter world changed my life, lol) or move elsewhere? It doesn't have to be any major website, just somewhere where we can continue getting soaked from watching you pound some lucky sluts and let us now through here ?

No, it's not a Identity scam. It's due to a change in european law. I actually thought, you'd need that Id even for just logging in and viewing stuff. Might still come that way.

I’d always be happy to exchange vids via kik. Then you’ll know at least one person is rubbing one to your vids. ?

And just like I read somewhere else, all my previously uploaded photos...they've changed the permissions so that only I can see them. Ah well...

to oli7474 : X vid...I can't find my own shit after uploading, which means no one else is gonna fine it either. I'm not a fan of that site and honestly, I think they're gonna be next. I would imagine that it's going to get harder for them to keep doing what they've been doing when all their competitors are changing.

to goodview2 : Last I tried it was like 3 per day - but they've always limited that - probably to make sure they didn't get cleaned out in the beginning but now that limit doesn't make sense

OH and I've heard you can only delete two of your videos a day.

Yup you are correct.  This site may have turned into a identity theft scheme.  New owners?

I absolutely LOVE your content, but don't blame you a bit. If you DO move to another site, PLEASE keep us posted as to where.

On to the next unpopular homemade porn sites. There are sites out there with more kinkier content as well like eroprofile and thisvid that don't ID yet. -Tusk
