On June 4, 2025, Aylo made the difficult decision to suspend access to Pornhub, RedTube, and YouPorn in France. Read the full statement from Alex Kekesi, Pornhub’s VP of Brand and Community.

Age verification laws have affected creators in several significant ways. Keep reading to learn how to access your verified Model account in restricted regions, discover tips to expand your audience, and continue monetizing your content.      

Can Creators in Suspended Regions Still Access Their Pornhub Accounts?

Yes, existing verified Pornhub creators in suspended regions can still log in and upload new content. Creators in France will continue to earn income from video views generated outside of France or any other region where access to Pornhub is blocked. To do so, simply visit the homepage and scroll to the bottom, where you’ll find the orange login button to access your account.

Top Tips for Creators Affected by Age Verification Laws

If you're looking to expand your reach and connect with audiences beyond your location, consider the following tips.

1. Translated titles:

We recommend visiting the Engagement Insights section from your main dashboard to monitor your video performance by country. For example, if you're seeing a high volume of views from Spain, consider translating your video titles into Spanish to better connect with that audience.

2. Collaborate with top performers in key markets:

Looking to grow your audience in key markets? Collaborating with top performers in the countries where you're already gaining traction is a smart strategy. Use your Dashboard to identify where your views are coming from, then check out Pornhub Insights' 2024 Year in Review to discover the top creators in those regions.  

Partnering with these performers can boost your exposure in a new country and help you tap into their fan base. For a seamless experience, make sure to use the Collaborators feature when uploading joint content.

Collaborations like these have the potential to go viral and become top-performing content on Pornhub. Just look at Ruth Lee from Spain, who teamed up with Johnny Sins from the U.S. and won Favorite Collab at the 7th Annual Pornhub Awards. Gattouz0 also frequently collaborates with creators from different regions and highlights their locations in his video titles—a smart move, as our data shows users often search for content based on their own country or region.

3. Shorties:

Shorties are a powerful discovery tool on Pornhub, especially for creators looking to grow their audience. Featuring a “More of Me” button, Shorties allow viewers to easily find more of your content and connect with your fan sites or Linktree—helping drive traffic to your paid platforms. To activate the “More of Me” button, add your “Official Website URL” to your Model profile. If you haven’t done so yet, update your profile now to take full advantage.

4. Advertisement opportunities:

TrafficJunky is the premier platform for advertising on Pornhub, giving you access to millions of high-intent viewers.
