No the image isn't going to be removed and no we're not going to pixelate/black out images. –Davey2010^Talk 12:17, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I propose the screenshot of the front of YouPorn be removed from this article. This imagery can be deeply disturbing and possibly triggering, not to mention the potential for children to be exposed to the imagery. Readers come to Wikipedia for information, not expecting hardcore pornographic imagery. It is not necessary to show the images in order to educate the public about what YouPorn is.2605:A000:1112:E464:605F:D626:2704:9A32 (talk) 11:49, 6 June 2020 (UTC) 2605:A000:1112:E464:605F:D626:2704:9A32 (talk) 11:49, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this edit request because the "collapsible" parameter doesn't work on mobile, so we're showing porn screenshots to all mobile users. – Thjarkur (talk) 11:56, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Declined, requested over and over, see WP:NOTCENSORED for the recurring answer. —Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 12:01, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It may be possible to pixel/black out the explicit parts of the image. Or is that WP:CENSORED too? --TheImaCow (talk) 12:06, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TheImaCow, it is 257 × 388 pixels because it is here under a fair use rationale. Looking at it in the article on an iPad I can’t make out anything. Enlarging it does not show significantly show anything, even when going to the actual image. If this images is shocking in that state I guess that other articles on wikipedia where larger, more explicit images are needed for explanation of a concept will be much worse. Moreover, they would then not represent wha5 the website is representing. And yes, I think that all of that is also WP:NOTCENSORED if you want to make such images unrealistic. Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 12:15, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not happening. –Davey2010^Talk 12:17, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Screenshot

Could it be considered to remove the Screenshot? I think it would be helpful to people who do not want to see porn but rather just see the information. I think that the logo is just enough considering people probably already get the premise of the website. Considering the Pornhub Wikipedia page removed their screenshot, I see no reason why the YouPorn Wikipedia page can't remove theirs. Zdubzxx (talk) 17:47, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

-==Corporate Agenda==
-Just wondering if it's worth mentioning [[Bill O'Reilly]] has talked about this site specifically on his show several times, even showing a screenshot of the entry page. He says bad things about it, but it's almost like he wants people to check it out. I'll see if I can find a citation on the fox website.

-YouPorn has been called "a good role model for the sexually naive", as many of its homemade videos depict ordinary couples having ordinary sex, as opposed to the often unreal scenarios of commercial porn

-==Downloading==
-The site appears to have removed the flv download link for the videos as of 9/15/2008. As of this date, there are no previews for any videos. Also, the "Related Videos" and "Featured Videos" sections are unpopulated or missing. [[User:Ara Praxis|Ara Praxis]] ([[User talk:Ara Praxis|talk]]) 20:18, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
-*Update
-Some of the more recent videos have been showing previews for their movies. However, it seems that all amateur porn has been removed from the site and replaced with hardcore pornography.

-Yeah for some reason youporn deleted all of their videos about a month or 2 ago and replaced them with some new ones, and surprisingly it seems that amateur vids aren't being added anymore and a lot of the vids seem to be previews for movies you can buy and even feature a link to where you can buy it, personally this leads me to believe that sice youporn has has had an increase in good quality porn and a decrease in amateur porn that while the site still says that you can upload videos thaey really got rid of it and started adding their own vids, though it could also be that they deleted the old vids since alot of them were pirated and began adding only new ones of high quality and not amateur along with ones that they upload personally as ads so as to generate revenue. also i should note that lots of their vids say youporn at the bottom right hand corner.
