What’s happening in the leak-site ecosystem — delivered monthly.

Most creator-protection writing focuses on the big-name tube sites: Pornhub, xHamster, xVideos, Tube8. Conventional wisdom says they're where leaked content ends up. The data says otherwise.

The eight Aylo-owned and adjacent tube sites in our cohort have 10.3M all-time URL takedowns combined. The aggregator category alone has 64.5M - roughly 6× more.

Fapello.com alone (24.5M takedowns) has more volume than every tube site in our cohort combined and multiplied by ~50. This is where creator content actually goes to die, not the household-name tube platforms, but the long-tail aggregators that copy paywalled content the day it's posted.

Source. Google Transparency Report, per-domain pages. Google publishes the volume of DMCA takedown notices it has received for each domain since March 2011. Every number on this page is verifiable by visiting transparencyreport.google.com/copyright/domains/[domain].

Site selection. 50 domains chosen by Privly based on what we see in our own scan logs and creator submissions. The list spans aggregators, tube sites, file hosts, forums, and deepfake-specific sites. Curation is intentional, we focused on the ecosystem most relevant to creator content.

Data extraction. Each per-domain page is rendered in a real browser (the page is JavaScript-driven), parsed for the visible stats, and the result is written to a JSON snapshot. We do not scrape Google's bulk dataset. Per-domain queries are well below Google's rate-limit threshold and respect their published terms.

Refresh cadence. Quarterly. Google updates these numbers daily, but a quarter is the right cadence for trend signal versus noise. The current snapshot was generated on April 25, 2026.

Activity classification. "Hot" means recent four-week pace exceeds 1.5× the lifetime weekly average. "Fading" means recent pace is below 30% of lifetime average. "Dormant" means fewer than six URLs in the last four weeks. "Active" covers everything in between.
