MindGeek's XTube to Shut Down September 5

MONTREAL — MindGeek-owned tube site XTube has announced it will be close down September 5 and is no longer allowing uploads or downloads.

The news was first announced by religiously motivated anti-porn crusader Laila Mickelwait through her Twitter account. It was confirmed by information updated on the site’s FAQs and first reported this morning by the TNW news site.

A FAQ page simply titled “XTube Closure” was quietly uploaded to the site over the weekend and included the following announcements:

  • As of July 5, content uploads were disabled
  • As of September 5, all user-generated content will be removed
  • Downloads have been disabled; henceforth, users will not be able to download any of the user-generated content
  • All remaining payout balances will be paid out by September 16, 2021
  • Though they are not obligated to do so beforehand, partners may remove their accounts prior to the closing date of September 5. Those removing their accounts won’t be able to process any remaining payout balances
  • VIP members and XTube Premium members will be billed through August 5; the subscriptions will be cancelled thereafter and will no longer be billed. However, VIP members and XTube Premium members will be able to access their respective benefits until September 5.
