i'm seeing the usual I WILL TAKE MY GOODIES AND GO posts saying that Pornhub or rather the mystery company that owns it clsims ownership of anytihing posted on its website, which has been hell for sex workers having theit content stolen and shared for free.
I suspect this is two entirely different issues.
One is probably the usual "commercial site claims the right to promote the site via content posted on it and/or to earn income via the stuff posted on it with ads or whatever" which on dA was broken telephoned into the "they're selling your stuff to HotPocket!" scare. But you never know; we all remember Fanlib. It will be time to check the ToS.
The other issue sounds like pornhub is pretty bad about responding to content theft violations. Which again is probably fine, if not ideal: better that a site be lax and let the community do the "Credit the original artist! Here's their shop!" policing rather than crack down on fan content and transformative work.
I guess I'm sorting through my own thoughts about the post I linked to (which also has "I don't want my stuff associated with PORN!" Which, well, ok, that doesn't apply to most of us, although there's porn and there's porn.) I suspect the gripes in the comments/eplies to that post are not problems, or are common to any kind of third party commercial platform, but it's definitely worth checking the TOS closely, whoever takes Tumblr next, to make sure it's not a Fanlib type company.
