Pornhub’s parent company is changing its name to total nonsense::MindGeek, the parent company of Pornhub and other adult entertainment websites is changing its name to Aylo as it looks to get a “fresh start.”

    I had a meeting with MindGeek. Beautiful building, lots of great people. I’m not sure that your personal prejudices reflect the reality of the situation.

      It’s not a personal prejudice, I personally have no problem with the people there since I don’t even work in the same field, and I thought their video tech is great even though their content isn’t my thing.

      It’s the sentiment I’ve heard from the tech people I know from big tech that they would never even consider working for Mindgeek no matter how much they pay, because they REALLY don’t want to be associated with working for PornHub.

        Dude, that’s akin to, “I wouldn’t touch her with a 10 foot pole” when you know full well they would touch her with a 4.5" penis.

        They have great tech and are well funded.

            Looks like my previous info was a bit out of date, but that’s further proof of my point that that they couldn’t get great tech talent to work for them.
