i wouldn't call somebody who takes these videos without sharing anything in return a shithead. i mean the porn we're "sharing" isn't really ours, and a lot of it is intended to be paid for (my understanding is that many of the tube sites are now "paid" by ads - though of course i use an adblocker)
i'm always grateful when somebody buys a clip and shares it with me, but in my eyes we're all leeches of a sort
I hear you but there is a big difference between expecting someone else to buy a video from a small pro-am studio and then just give it to you for nothing in return (to you or the studio), versus watching/downloading content uploaded by an amateur to pornhub or xhamster.
Even the commercial stuff from Bang Bros, Evil Angel, etc, is often uploaded by those studios, or with they're complicit knowledge, as it helps promote their product. Mindgeek, which operates many of the biggest "free" porntubes often has output deals with these same studios.
Watching xhamster for free = ok
Demanding that a stranger buy a video for you when you have no intention of ever returning the favour = shithead.
