MindGeek wants a “fresh start.”

Pornhub’s parent company is changing its name to total nonsense::MindGeek, the parent company of Pornhub and other adult entertainment websites is changing its name to Aylo as it looks to get a “fresh start.”

I don’t know a thing about adult industry financing but are there investors? Are the moneybags telling them to clean up their image?

seriously, how bad must it be to change name to clean up their image? We all expect this industry is controversial.

The only recent thing I remember about Pornhub is the current blocking in certain states as protest to the age verification requirement. That seems like a plus in my book that they stand up for privacy and internet use. Changing the name seems like it might dilute their stance.
