RedTube is one of the major ad-supported adult video streaming platforms, offering both professional and amateur pornographic content to millions of daily visitors. Launched in 2007, the site quickly became one of the fastest-growing websites on the internet—its popularity partly attributed to its non-sexual name referencing YouTube. As of recent estimates, it draws around 25 million people per day and operates servers across multiple cities including San Francisco, New Orleans, and Montreal.
The platform is owned by Aylo (formerly MindGeek), the major holding company behind several prominent adult content sites. Like its sister sites, RedTube has been at the center of regulatory discussions around age verification and content moderation. Aylo has been
actively participating in age verification initiatives, including signing up for the European Commission’s age verification app pilot program. The company has also
lobbied major tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft for device-level porn age verification, positioning itself as a proponent of technological solutions to regulatory compliance.
RedTube is based in Tyler, Texas, with estimated annual revenue around $6.1 million as of 2024. The platform has adapted to evolving regulatory landscapes, including implementing
tougher age verification measures for UK users and responding to various international blocking attempts with calls for standardized global approaches to content access controls.
