MindGeek sold to Ethical Capital Partners (EPC)

[BrasSmonkey]

I suspect this is about getting their merchant account back. We were all expecting them to do some kind of change of ownership

Without that merchant account, the company is probably only worth a fraction of its original value

you believe that... they have a lot of whales... i won't go on that though and ads

Quite a few of our webmodels have member profiles on pornhub and from what ive been hearing, earnings dropped off a cliff when they lost their merchant account.

you setup your own. you should not be relying a tube to process your funds. they move to onlyfans or there is another option i have seen cam models using

Im not relying on a tube. Im just saying i know quite a few content producers that had model profiles on pornhub (same as they do on onlyfans, xhamster, hotmovies etc) and apparently the sales from pornhub are pretty much non-existent since MC/Visa banned them.

I dont know how much of Pornhub's business was from member sales but it must have been a good chunk. Ontop of that, advertisers cant even pay with mc/visa which must have had an impact on their add sales

I doubt they are the world's biggest pornsite anymore. Thats probably someone like xvideos or xhamster

Not surprised they sold it but i bet it was worth a lot less now than it was a couple of years ago

no of course not but its mindgeek that have been blocked (not pornhub) so ALL their sites will have been affected

Having said that, it wouldn't surprise me if they announce soon that they have re-acquired their merchant account !.

I doubt ECP would have invested all that money without first checking whether MC/Visa would drop the ban

They can't really as MC and Visa are both private companies so its entirely up to them who they deal with

yeah but they call pornhub criminals and google is fine. you can go there now and its tons of pirate shit on youtube. some is over a decade old.

[gspotman]

Some serious people on that list that makes me think why would they buy a porn company...

[Sammy]

How much did it sell for?

[Russ]

How much did it sell for?

It is not a public company so no one will tell

[fappmaster]

Did they form this company to buy Mindgeek or is Mindgeek one more adult company they bought

With new ownership and such strong backgrounds I am sure they will get new accounts in next to no time look at their education and resumes, pretty impressive. And the word "Ethical" in the company name goes a long way to build trust in my opinion. Do you agree with me?

[monsta]

Does owning a porn company help their careers?

[Jaco]

What surprised me is the background of the "Team" who bought it

Wonder why they bought it in the current climate

[BrasSmonkey]

this is their way to get the cards back LOL shell corp 2023
