One of the leading tube site brands owned by the adult entertainment giant MindGeek will cease its operations in September. XTube has announced that it will close down September 5 and already stopped accepting new uploads to its site. No official explanation was given so far.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Mindgeek’s best-known brands and especially Pornhub have gotten terrible press coverage lately, it is one of the lesser-known tube sites that will shut down its operations. So while some religious fanatics and opponents of the company are celebrating the \u00bbend of illegal porn\u00ab, this might just be a business decision.<\/p>\n

Mindgeek only gave sparse information on the move, releasing a short comment stating: \u00bbLike any tech company, we are constantly evaluating our content offerings and products to best serve our users. XTube has always had a dedicated but small community, and we believe that its users and creators will be better served on one of our existing platforms, where they will be able to take advantage of wider reach and increased visibility.\u00ab<\/p>\n

On XTube, users can find a FAQ explaining the technicalities of the move without any additional explanation. Under the link \u00bbXTube Closure\u00ab<\/a> more information can be found. The main announcements are:<\/p>\n
