Pornotube mimics Youtube in style, as a manner of advertising. It is most definitely not a portal for amateurs to share videos with one another. Just looked at that site.

What the Internet has really done, by lowering the barriers to entry, is to make it even easier to meet the market demand for the multitude of kinks out there. razib appears to actually know something about the subject.
