the r/videos automod blacklists the Pornhub domain, so here is an SFW screenshot of our link:

The NSFW link is at r/filmmakers if you really feel like seeing some schlongs.
As far as I can see, short films simply no longer gain traction on YouTube, as their algorithm prioritizes sponsored content, political beefs, vlogs, and “personality” videos. In 48 hours we’ve gotten thousands of views thanks to Pornhub and the reddit filmmaker community. Curious to see if more filmmakers make the migration to alternative hosting platforms. Our film went to over 30 festivals around the world and won a jury prize at Slamdance, yet we were still forbidden from using AdSense to promote the film. In this brave new world of demonetization and adpocalypses, I hope more filmmakers who want to make boundary pushing narratives and dark comedies can figure out a way around Google’s dominance over storytelling. I’m happy to answer any questions about the making of the film!
“Racism gets fucked hard when a Nazi and a Jihadist meet for a weapons deal”
10/10 title
This is the definition of a reddit clickbait title.
Ok, I can’t watch anymore. This is so fucking disgusting! How dare you make a short film like this! This is just so well made. From the actors, the scenes, the blocking. It’s really well made. You need to not stop what you’re doing immediately!
You are not alone, using porn sites to host normal videos has been slowly popping up. It says a lot about YouTube and the way they treat content creators when a porn site (I take it back, the best porn site) is becoming a less sketchy option.
Horseshoe Theory a Love Story. (R)
Honestly having them “hook up” at the end kinda ruined it IMO. Message would have been stronger ending with just the truck driving away while dude watched in the rain.
He wants him to fuck him like he fucked Bin Laden.
Someone was streaming ESL Dota 2 tournament on pornhub once, when ESL decided to do a facebook exclusive stream, thought it was hilarious.
That was spectacular, carried the suspense and intrigue to the final point. Awsome
Are you kidding me? Why should youtube promote you? Youtube is not a charity, its up to you to attract viewers and do marketing.
I hate this shit so much how people are bashing on youtube that its not supporting creators, but then we got here h3h3, idubzz dunkey and others who make plenty of money….
Youtube promotes CONTENT which people WATCH, its a market, If your content Sucks to market(low watchtime, no engagement etc.) it wont get promoted….
YouTube isn’t going on a crusade against short films, they are keeping your video off peoples recommendations because you uploaded soft core gay porn to their website and tagged it as SFW lol
Maybe your film just sucks? And if the only way to get people to watch it is with a gimmick like this…then that should pretty much confirm it.
If you problem is algorithmicly surfaced content local to the video host site, why on earth do you think a porn site where people visit to view porn would ever surface a random short film? If you issue is lack of exposure via *external* linking (i.e. from other websites, how the internet in intended to work), then your change in hosts actively *discourages* viewing due to content filtering.
This is great! It’s well shot, clean, the dialogue is funny and believable, and the sexual tension throughout the whole thing is oh-so-good. I think it drags a little bit at some points, but this is a better short film than most of the shorts I saw at the last two festivals I went to (Seattle International Film Festival and Translations)
Are they shut down for wrong copyright infringement claim?
It’s not youtube’s job to promote your videos for you.
w
just use vimeo for your shit movie
I was kind of expecting some horrible yet comical twist where they kill each other or something.
All you needed to do was get talented people to repost your video as “reaction” videos on YouTube.
Lol
>I got frustrated with YouTube’s algorithm shutting out short films
Please explain. This really just sounds like you don’t understand how it works and how to optimize for it.
fuck youtube!
posts a youtube link anyway
lol
Just image if that site became the arbiter or free speech
Only porn I’ve watched all the way through. 10/10
Can i do this aswell OP
Mojave, CA if I’m not mistaken.
honest to god, this has to be the way to go to “rival” with yt
I’d watch a feature length film about this.
Just host yourself, or use a torrent (which are capable of streaming), or upload in a less known site.
But of course you chose the most NSFW for publicity and actually linked the one you were ‘frustrated’ because it’s the views in that one that will show up in your resume 🙂
Hypocrite.
So then why is this a link to youtube…
And embedding is blocked so it doesn’t play in RES.
Pretty fire video OP
enjoyed it thanks
Title had nothing got to do with the video itself. It’s always disgusting when these types of posts get front page.
Pornhub has an active policy to find and delete non-porn content, so you probably just encouraged a lot of people to go ahead and break their rules just now.
There are plenty of alternatives to YouTube you can post to without having to upload to a porn site for attention. That “trend” was old before it started. I liked your film though.
Fucking lol
He didn’t touch his food.
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!
Maybe oh idk… USE ALTERNATIVES LIKE BITCHUTE???
I hope this bastion of free speech becomes the platform of tomorrow.
Never heard of Vimeo?
I downvoted. Fuck you, karma whore.
Serious question: how does porn hub determine if something is “porn”? Is it theoretically conceivable that the site could be overrun by, say, sports videos if enough people uploaded?
use vimeo
You can find some old Warcraft 3 matches on pornhub and nowhere else.
I get that you’re upset about things and that’s ok, thats even pretty well backed up by some research. But I have a hard pill for you here, if you’re open to it.
I dont care about your short film, that’s why I didnt watch it. That’s why I didnt search for it. That’s why nobody recommended it to me.
There’s a lot of content creators out there. Everyone wants to get some exposure, and I get that it’s hard. Is YouTube expected to push every creators every video down every viewers throat? Am I expected to have to watch hundreds of hours of video every day because everyone came out with a video and it must be seen?
Before you can confidently assert that YouTube is screwing you, ask yourself if your magnum opus is really something I actually want to see. I’d rather watch Bad Obsession and Primitive Technologies, AvE and ElectroBOOM.
Pornhub should really think about opening up a contender to YouTube. I don’t see why they couldn’t make it happen.
I really hope you picked the cig up..
But that’s a YouTube link
I would LOVE to see PornHub become the next YouTube.
1. That would be hilarious. Imagine linking your grandma to a funny video that happens to be hosted on PornHub.
2. Typing “po” into your address bar no longer brings up shame, just the most popular video site that everyone else uses.
3. YouTube gets a ton of bad press, while PornHub has been praised lately, planting trees, giving free subscriptions, etc.
Though, my money is on YouTube buying PornHub as a competitor and ruining them.
lpt pornhub an xvideos ALWAYS gets 1080 rips first for all major movies
This is the way to go:
-no restrictions
-makes ph look like a viable competitor
YouTube is a disgusting platform run by out-of-touch hags.
Vimeo. Vimeo is the platform for short film-makers. But total props to you for getting creative
PornHub pivots to regular video hosting, becums the new best platform for independent video publishing!
Phub community is nicer anyways
Subtle. Nuanced. No strawmen anywhere to be found.
You realise we use that for porn right?
Why not vimeo?
….I have a feeling pornhub is going to be making this a legit thing very soon.
So how much is pornhub paying you?
I am a radical too and I liked this movie!
JDB!!! WHATS UP
great film
