Pornhub owns most of those alternatives.

I love how they have clearly tried to hide that they make their money from porn. They used to be called MindGeek. The private equity firm that owns them is called Ethical Capital Partners.

Ethical Capital Partners

So I assume they can guarantee none of the women in the porn they show are victims of human trafficking.

(I can't know that in the porn I watch either, but I don't host it.)

in fairness, they did delete most of their content base after a minor was found to be on the platform. To the degree that keeps investors happy, i suppose they do.
