Aylo
Parent company of Pornhub, RedTube, Brazzers, and other adult platforms, formerly known as MindGeek.
Definition
Aylo is the Montreal-based parent company behind Pornhub, RedTube, YouPorn, Brazzers, Reality Kings, and numerous other adult entertainment brands. The company rebranded from MindGeek in 2023 while retaining its portfolio of streaming sites, studios, and advertising networks.
Why it matters
- Centralised compliance: Aylo sets age-verification, moderation, and transparency policies across its network, so rule changes on one property often affect the rest.
- Shared infrastructure: Creator uploads, analytics, and payment tooling are reused across Aylo sites, making it easier for studios to distribute content in multiple places.
- Regulatory visibility: Lawmakers frequently target Aylo in legislation and investigations, which drives rapid updates to ID checks, privacy workflows, and content audits.
Notes
- Aylo publishes quarterly transparency reports covering takedowns, legal requests, and verified uploader metrics.
- The group operates office campuses in Montreal, Limassol, and London with remote trust-and-safety teams worldwide.
- When you see "Aylo Services Inc." on billing statements, it is the corporate entity processing Pornhub Premium transactions.
