“Money Shot: The Pornhub Story”. Documentary on Netflix

Money Shot: The Pornhub Story is a documentary directed by Suzanne Hillinger.

A few years ago, the site was accused of promoting illegal (and very hardcore) content, this documentary tells us the story about how this site became the number one content distribution platform… for grown-ups.

About the Documentary

Mindgeek is a company based in Montreal, Canada and is the owner of PornHub, among other secondary sites.

It originally came to life as a YouTube channel where users could share whatever videos they wanted to, including, of course, specifically adult content (that’s right, porn).

Back in 2008, PornHub took over the market, becoming something like the PirateBay of adult content, except you didn’t even have to download it. You simply hit play and a world of entertainment ensued. When Fabian Thylmann bought the company, he made sure that the site was at the top of search results and – precisely because of the searches – the porn industry changed the rules and everything became a “game of crank up the volume to drown out the competition”.

The story goes on and on, between interviews with actors, executives and so on… until we get to the accusations, a few years ago, that led PornHub to be accused of being a “house of horrors”, because users were posting content that was …”outside the law”.

So there you go, if you want to know more about this multi-million dollar industry, don’t miss the Netflix documentary.
