Everybody is still going to know it's them, and I don't think they can get respectable engineers to work for them. There really isn't any prestige in working there.
They should at least expanded to have another site up for general SFW video content to compete with youtube and produce originals, since they clearly have the tech for it.
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.
Side, that's akin to, "I wouldn't touch her with a 10 foot pole" when you know full well they would F touch her with a 4.5" penis.
They have great tech and are well funded.
That's not what the glassdoor.com reviews say, at least last time I checked a bunch of employees complained about a horrendously out-of-date PHP stack.
Looks like my previous info was a bit out of date, but that's further proof of my point that that they couldn't get great tech talent to work for them.
You can work on a porn site without seeing any porn. IIRC Pornhub's test site doesn't contain any porn so their engineers can work normally, just like those engineers who work on CSAM detection and reporting system never actually see any CSAM themselves.
