as always, great and very insightful thread. especially interesting for me since i’ve been thinking about starting a tube site for a long time and still haven’t pulled the trigger
one thing i’ve been wondering about for a while, and which you mentioned in one of your recent updates:
how do you (or tube site owners in general) deal with users trying to upload illegal or prohibited content?
- do you allow user uploads at all, or are they limited?
- if uploads are enabled, how do you stop illegal stuff from slipping through?
- manual moderation, automated filters, or a mix of both?
- with your level of traffic, you’d probably need a solid moderation setup, which isn’t cheap or fun to deal with
would be interesting to hear how you handle this in practice and what best practices you’d recommend.
