YouTube has officially joined the war against AI porn with the introduction of a new policy that demonitizes videos that teach viewers how to make it. It appears that YouTube is actively white knighting for OnlyFans models, who are facing increasing competition from entirely. Whilst AI-generated accounts on OnlyFans are against the site’s terms and conditions, it seems many are slipping through the net and generating masses of paying subscribers. According to an article in the Daily Wire, popular YouTube AI porn tutorial videos have titles such as – “$5 Million per Month AI Side Hustle Video on Onlyfans using SORA!”, and “$30k+ with Ai OnlyFans Models | is this Legal? (how to create ai onlyfans models & avoid jail)”.
According to the third-party plugin vidIQ, there are 800,000 average views per video found when searching “AI only fans business.” The highest views for a video with those guidelines is over 5.1 million, and the average subscriber total for channels featuring related content is nearly 700,000.
The potential for AI-generated images and video to compete with OnlyFans models and other real adult industry performers became even starker this week with the long-awaited public release (in the USA) of Sora, OpenAI’s advanced text-to-video generator. But while the release of Sora may have grabbed the headlines, another more significant development for AI porn videos is likely to have been the release six days earlier of Hunyaun by Tencent. Hunyaun is another sophisticated text-to-image generator, which some in the know are saying is even better than Sora. But the best thing is that, unlike Sora, Hunyaun is open-source.
OpenAI Sora was out of the game on day one.
To be fair, I compared it with Hunyuan, which dropped 6 days ago, it's an open-source AI model and you can run it locally for free.
TBH, if I were to compare it to Hailuo AI or Kling AI, Sora would look even worse.

Meanwhile, some of the reader’s comments underneath that Daily Wire article are surprisingly positive about AI porn and anti-censorship. For example, ‘deadtroopers9675’ writes:
If you banned porn, the internet would probably collapse. You can’t legislate for human nature: society’s morals have to flip first. No one pay’s attention to hypocritical busybodies apart from hypocritical busybodies. They never have and they never will. Folk generally can tell the difference between fantasy and reality too and pictures can’t harm anyone either. The harm is all in your head; just as the fantasy is all the heads of the folk you are whinging about. Parents should parent and not be handing it off to the government; nevermind the likes of YouTube.
Another reader comments:
I can understand the prohibition of using someone’s likeness. But AI porn kinda seems like high-tech cartoon porn. That actually sounds preferable to sex trafficking and ruining young girl’s lives.
Actual pornography seems like a greater evil than AI porn. Why focus on demonetizing cartoon porn but let the real stuff continue?
While ‘Yeshivaman’ points out apparent hypocrisy in YouTube’s stance:
Yes they’ll still allow it on their site because it generates traffic but the won’t pay the makers for it. Obviously someone’s moral compass needs recalibration.
