April Fool: Pornhub scare users with terrifying trick

2 Min Read

The porn community on April 1 spared some moments to ‘celebrate’ April Fools Day with a prank that had members (users) scared that their secrets have been exposed.

Users who pulled up a video to watch on the website received a message informing them that Pornhub had activated a new, automatic video-sharing feature:

Needless to say, this supposed “feature” didn’t go over too well with people who were trying to keep their porn-watching habits anonymous:

Thankfully for all parties involved, one quick click revealed the nature of the prank and assuaged fears of accidentally sharing your porn habits with mom and dad:

This isn’t the first time Pornhub messed with their audience on April Fool’s Day. In 2016, they turned the page into a landing spot for vegetable enthusiasts, redesigning and renaming their site “Cornhub” for the day. They’re a company that gets into the spirit of April Fool’s, even if this year’s joke hit a lot closer to home.

It should be noted that Pornhub does have a sharing feature that allows active users to show off their favorite videos to their friends on Twitter, Reddit, and a number of other social feeds. I don’t think I’ve ever personally known someone who openly shared their porn-watching habits with the broadest audience possible. But if you’re happy to let your freak flag fly, Pornhub’s latest April Fool’s Day prank isn’t likely to faze you one bit.
