I expected something to happen soon the other day while DLing stuff. I noticed the upload button was removed entirely. My thought was they needed to stop uploads completely while they try to catch up with cleaning the site place up. I suppose just doing a full wipe would be faster. idk what the new owners have planned but from previous press releases they intend to monetize. we shall see. Hopefully ppl got whatever vids they wanted while they could.
Again, I bet there's a URL problem because I still see the right site when I enter the URL manually, exactly as I have above but without spaces.
I've tried on MacOS Chrome, iOS Chrome & Safari.
not to be to personal but do you live in one of this states Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Virginia, and Utah? if so then you are part of the new porn ban.
Yeah it might very well be this, seems strange that they're linking to another porn site but perhaps they're trying to cover their asses.
(e.g "Oh they're not coming to Spankbang they're coming to Spankbang Live which is a whole separate entity.")
Website is working completely fine for me (UK) so I'd wager it could be a regional thing. Try a VPN and see if the issue persists, if not then it's almost guaranteed an IP/Regional thing.
I'm in one of the states mentioned so I grabbed a month of VPN. I tried LA and NY and both brought me to the Spankbanglive thing. I then switched to the UK and it did indeed work like normal.
Edit: Based on some Reddit posts, it seems that this is related to age verification laws.
back on SB and PH. Thank the VPN Gods :) The upload button is gone for me on spankbang as of about a week ago. vids still being posted by ppl elsewhere but I have no info on that.
Uploading on those sites is reserved for verified accounts now. That's why the quality has went down. Spankbang held out for awhile, but over the past few months it has given in. It's partly why I found this site.
Yes Spankbang is shit now. The upload feature was disabled months ago for me and prior to that I was having trouble with my uploads just disappearing minutes after uploading them. Now the upload feature is just totally gone from the site when I login. New owners are apparently intent on destroying the site at a rapid pace because that is all they are accomplishing by doing this bullshit.
Was my primary choice for a long time to find full length vids to sample to decide if I wanted to download an original untouched copy elsewhere. Other streaming sites I use now to skim vids are laggy, too much spam even with an ad-block and don't allow you to select the video quality
Amateur stuff specifically usually gets deleted quickly or being unlisted makes it hard to find those vids you might be interested in. A lot more studios have their own channels there so I think it's inevitable that there will be more removals trying to clean up its image and become more legitimate to monetize
I used to like Spankbang to get a lower filesize version of new scenes. I understand the appeal of wanting the 4K versions of scenes but I watch almost all of my porn on my laptop or phone. I don't need an 8GB 4K version of the scene. I can work with a compressed version that's under a Gig.
