What Aylo does

Aylo is a privately held adult entertainment and technology company, incorporated in Cyprus and owned by Ethical Capital Partners (ECP). Founded in 2004, Aylo operates a portfolio of nine wholly-owned consumer platforms — Pornhub, Brazzers, YouPorn, RedTube, Reality Kings, Sean Cody, Men, My Dirty Hobby, and Tube8 — that collectively serve a global base of adult consumers seeking direct web-based access to video content.

The company's core offering is large-scale consumer video streaming built on infrastructure comprising 4 terabits per second of CDN bandwidth, 65+ petabytes of media storage, 2,000 cloud instances, and 1,700 bare metal servers. Aylo's platforms stream 13M+ hours of video per day, ingest an average of 8,000 new videos daily, and encode 67,000 hours of video per day. A trust-and-safety stack — including uploader verification, content fingerprinting, moderation systems, content flagging/removal, NGO partnerships, and deterrence messaging — sits atop the infrastructure layer.

Aylo monetizes through a combination of advertising, premium recurring subscriptions, and transaction-based models across its branded platforms. The company sells direct-to-consumer with no enterprise tier and uses organic web traffic as its primary acquisition channel. Recent strategic focus has shifted heavily toward regulatory positioning: Aylo has filed lawsuits (e.g., Utah S.B. 73), partnered with Apple on device-level age verification (iOS 26.4), co-founded the Adult Studio Alliance, partnered with Kindred Tech on CSAM mitigation, and exited markets including France, Australia, the UK (partially), and 24 US states rather than comply with certain age-verification mandates.
