RedTube is a well-known internet streaming service. It has pornographic videos of all types, that you are free to watch in the privacy of your home. You can pay RedTube around $10 a month to get special member benefits. It’s one of the world’s most popular websites.
You probably don’t want to get YouTube and RedTube mixed up. It could be embarrassing.
Meanwhile, YouTube Red is an internet streaming service. It’s a new part of YouTube , which requires you to pay around $10 a month to get special member benefits.
What wombat in Google’s marketing department thought it was a good idea to call YouTube’s new service, YouTube Red?
It’s hard to ignore that YouTube appears to have named its new service after a porn site.

I don't understand why you consider it so inappropriate. After all, what do you suppose the member "benefits" are going to be?
There is not a single thing in his post that suggests he think it is inappropriate. Questioning the logic behind it is another matter entirely, but that doesn't have to be about whether it is appropriate. Unless you mean appropriate naming, in which case I think the answer is obvious – it is something that many could mix up and this would matter even if redtube wasn't what it is (why add confusion for the user-base ?). It's sort of like government agencies that include intelligence in their names (MI5, CIA, etc.) – they could probably be better named.
I kinda read what he said as a joke. You know, cause it's a video site with "benefits" *wink*
Therefore the name would be totally appropriate in relation to anyone's mixing the two up, lol.
May be "Azure" on "Blue" wold be more appropriate
Reminds me of the funny domain for Powergen in Italy. I'm not sure if they still don't get that www.powergenitalia.com could easily be misconstrued
Ah looks like that one's been taken down now :)
Maybe YouTube should allow porn on this new service. What do they have to lose? YouTube is a break even business. It could be all of the 60fps and live streaming porn you want and none of the malvertising that comes from xhamster, redtube, and xvideos. Porn is one of the few freemium models that actually gets people to pay. For the YouTube stars going behind this new paywall, I wonder what's going to happen to them? Are people going care about exclusive content and no ads? How many of Pew Die Pie's thong of 14 year old viewer are going to pony up $10/mo?
'What wombat in Google's marketing department thought it was a good idea to call YouTube's new service, YouTube Red?'
I don't know but I suppose if they had to explain it, they could use the excuse that it was a Chinese (or Russian) cracker (since they have an affinity to red and since Google participates in blame games, why not?) that manipulated them. It might convince a few people.
'It's hard to ignore that YouTube appears to have named its new service after a porn site.'
Publicity stunt ? I'm not sure I want to know what Google is up to (as a general rule) but until they reveal what those things are, there is no since fussing over it (and even then there probably isn't because they don't care what others think).
Well, I suppose this is a deliberate marketing trick by Google. You can imagine how many people are discussing this now, and eventually it might become a viral marketing message.
Yeah, because they need help getting high up in the search rankings and don't have access to an advertising platform to help them get the word out there. :)
Commence the eye rolling (-; right?
The answer to your ending question is…..
One or more YouTube employee's moonlight at, and or, are consumers of RedTube.
As for me, I needed to know the difference, (as stated in the title) because I had never heard of RedTube before today! So thanks for educating the innocent.
Here's a scenerio for you all,
>Innocent Little Johnny ask his mother Can I watch a movie on umm what's that new site Redtube?
>Sure Johnny…No wait… No Johnny! Turn off that TV!
This could be played out at any household. Just in time for the Holidays.
I really think Google new what they were doing.
And what if they named it YouTube Red, because they have red logo, their website are all in red and white color and so on. Nobody thought??!!
(Btw. sorry for my bad english…)
In that case, better name it YouTube Candy Cane because of the red and white stripes on a candy cane?

News

If you took a casual look for your favorite Internet porn this week, you may have noticed a much, MUCH smaller selection. Well, it’s not your imagination.
Pornhub , one of the largest adult sites in the world, just deleted a whopping 10.6 MILLION videos! That’s over 78.5% of its content!
Everything that wasn’t verified content — you know, the little blue checkmark, just like on Twitter — got the axe. Only videos from official content partners remain. No unverified videos remain, and no unverified uploaders can put anything else on the site. That put the number of videos on the site from around 13.5 million to just 2.9 million as of this writing.
Well, it all started on December 4 when The New York Times published an op-ed about child sexual abuse victims who saw videos of themselves uploaded onto the site. Less than a week later Pornhub announced a change in policy in which they would no longer allow unverified users from uploading videos, but it was too late to stop the tide of bad press.
MasterCard and Visa announced they would no longer process payments to the site. Visa banned all of Pornhub’s sister sites on the MindGeek network, including Redtube , Youporn , Xtube , and Brazzers .
So in addition to stopping new uploads, Pornhub went for the nuclear option and “suspended” all videos from unverified sources. In a statement this week, they explained:
“As part of our policy to ban unverified uploaders, we have now also suspended all previously uploaded content that was not created by content partners or members of the Model Program. This means every piece of Pornhub content is from verified uploaders, a requirement that platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat and Twitter have yet to institute.”
They also pointed out the actual number of instances child sexual abuse material were quite small relatively — again, citing Facebook and its much worse record:
“Leading non-profit organizations and advocacy groups acknowledge our efforts to date at combating illegal content have been effective. Over the last three years, Facebook self-reported 84 million instances of child sexual abuse material. During that same period, the independent, third-party Internet Watch Foundation reported 118 incidents on Pornhub. That is still 118 too many, which is why we are committed to taking every necessary action.”
But Facebook isn’t facing a hit to the wallet right now. And Pornhub is. Why? Well, according to their own announcement, they’re being “targeted” by “ organizations dedicated to abolishing pornography, banning material they claim is obscene, and shutting down commercial sex work.” They claim the two groups leading the charge are the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (formerly known as Morality in Media) and Exodus Cry/TraffickingHub.
Is this all just anti-porn and sex work sentiment hiding behind charges of child sexual exploitation, something no one can argue with? It does seem like Facebook is getting away awfully clean considering those “84 million instances of child sexual abuse material.” (Seriously, WTF is up with that??)
On the one hand, this seems like a positive move. Making it that much harder to get child sexual abuse material, as well as revenge porn, pirated content, and other unsavory material, out there is always a good thing.
However, we’re now quite skeptical about the reasons behind the new charge.
What we do know for sure is for many amateur porn creators who have not yet been verified, this is yet another huge loss of revenue, following the invasion of celebs and influencers into OnlyFans earlier this year.
What do YOU think of this big move, Perezcious readers?

Hey there Ryan!

My name is Miguel Ángel and I'm an independent advisor, also a Microsoft user just like you! I'll try to help you today with your issue.

This is nothing but Google Chrome's notifications from a random website called CaptchaTopSource. We'll have to disable Chrome's notifications coming from that specific website or any other that you don't recognise. Follow these steps:

1. In Chrome, at the top right, click More > Settings.
2. Once there, under "Privacy and security," click Site settings.
3. Click Notifications.
4. Choose to block or allow notifications: Allow or Block all: Turn on or off Sites can ask to send notifications.

I'll also provide you with an article from the well-known antivirus MalwareBytes about these issues, explaining them and how to fix them as well. You can find it here: https://blog.malwarebytes.com/security-world/te...

Don't worry, your computer is not infected. It's just notifications that you were tricked to allow at some point in your browsing experience.

I'll wait for your reply! Don't worry, everything will be okay.

Hugs,

Miguel Ángel :)
