DaftSex boasted a colossal collection of free explicit content. At its peak, it lured in roughly 65 million monthly visitors. With its user-friendly design and extensive porn-tube-based library, DaftSex was one of the most popular choices among people seeking free and diverse adult content. However, despite its popularity, Daftsex encountered turbulent waters, eventually leading to its demise.
In this story, we will delve into the rise and fall of Daftsex, examining the legal battles and the final chapter of this once-thriving adult platform.
What is [was] Daftsex?
Daftsex (daftsex com) was an established adult entertainment website (porn tube site) renowned for its extensive and diverse collection of free pornographic content. It was immensely popular, attracting roughly about 65 million, monthly visitors.
Daftsex had a user-friendly design that set it apart from other porn tube sites. It featured a straightforward layout with easy navigation through sections like Hottest videos, Categories, Pornstars list, and RandomTV. Sites like DaftSex make adult content available through streaming, but some of these sites also allow their content to be downloaded via torrenting.
Despite minimal advertising, occasional pop-up ads appeared even with ad-blockers enabled, sometimes leading to unrelated websites.
Daftsex, although being quite popular and successful, made a mistake. It was ‘likely’ hosting or providing access to copyrighted adult content without proper authorization from the copyright holders. As a result of this illegal action, Daftsex started facing lots of legal consequences— ultimately leading to the shutdown of the website.
What Happened to Daftsex?
According to reports from TorrentFreak, in July 2020, Daftsex faced its demise due to legal action taken by MindGeek (now Aylo), the parent company of popular adult entertainment websites like Pornhub and Brazzers. MindGeek launched a legal campaign to unveil the individuals behind Daftsex.
Daftsex’s legal journey started with a DMCA subpoena directed at Cloudflare, the site’s hosting provider, in an effort to unmask the site’s operators. Simultaneously, MindGeek started to flood Google with over 823,000 DMCA takedown notices, targeting URLs linked to Daftsex.
Fast forward to November 2022, and MindGeek achieved a monumental legal victory in a federal lawsuit against Vasily Kharchenko, the alleged mastermind behind Daftsex. Additionally, MindGeek also won against other related adult pirate domains like Artporn and Biqle. Despite this triumph, Daftsex proved resilient and quickly relocated to new domains like Daft.sex and Dsex.to.
By August 2023, a U.S. judge intervened, appointing MG Premium (a subsidiary of MindGeek) as the custodian of Daftsex’s pirate domains. However, the battle against DaftSex was marked by geographical challenges posed by Kharchenko, hinting at a prolonged struggle.
2023’s DaftSex Current Status.
As of now, Daftsex.com is no longer operational. The legal proceedings and actions taken against Daftsex led to its permanent shutdown. Users attempting to access the site will find themselves redirected to a different site (Redtube).
While some users believe and wish “DaftSex.com” to be relaunched, the official site is likely gone forever. But if the original site does not come back, DaftSex’s displaced users would likely still love to continue with the positive experiences from similar sites to Draftsex.
Although the DaftSex site and its newer versions are closed for now, the DaftSex admins keep up with the status of the site through social media. The DaftSex Twitter profile, with the handle @DaftPost, offers insight into the platform’s updates and announcements. Additionally, the profile’s health status is linked to http://daftlist.github.io, and its associated website: Noodlemagazine com.
Final Words
While DaftSex provided entertainment to millions of adults on a monthly basis, it also faced the legal repercussions of providing unauthorized access to copyrighted material. Today, Daftsex.com is gone and users complain but they see no comeback… DaftSex’s domain legacy redirects to RedTube.
While loyal visitors bid farewell to the real Daftsex, the site’s managers still try to redirect them to alternative sources with similar pornographic content.
