Pornhub has announced 'Pornhub Premium', a monthly subscription options that gives its billions of users the opportunity to watch porn in high-res without the ads.
Using the Netflix payment model and charging $9.99 a month, the service will offer ad-free, high speed, HD viewing in 1080p across all devices, along with access to full-length exclusive content.
It's an interesting move for the site, which became so popular precisely because it was an alternative to pay-for porn sites.
It will still be possible to access Pornhub without a Premium account, though it will be interesting to see whether the user experience is altered to encourage/prompt users to upgrade.
The porn monolith is no stranger to radical plans, having earlier in the year launched a crowdfunding campaign to make the first porn film in space.
