Don't worry, this is not one of those mandatory annual "Best cloud storage for porn" posts. More like I still don't get why half the people warn against trusting a cloud storage providers with your porn collection because they regularly update their naughty/nice lists and ban accounts for life. But then there's the other half which says "I've been a subscriber of pCloud for the last 10 years I store everything from Nazi propaganda to bestiality and I've never had so much as down time".
But both are contradictory, so do you have any hypothesis?
My personal experience - I've had a lifetime plan from pCloud from oh, I don't know... I think 2018? I store all of my porn there, all 221GB of it and believe me when I say I don't own the rights to a single video. I've never had a single file deleted let alone a banned account. But here's the thing. I'm afraid it might happen, so that's why I wish someone would enlighten me on the internal pipelines of some of the popular providers.
My hypothesis is that only some accounts get banned because 1) someone reported them 2) they see a lot of outbound traffic from said account 3) random checks. 1) and 2) I avoid easily, I just keep my porn to myself, no one has asked me for it anyway, but 3) seems a little too lucky to avoid for so long.
So... any ideas?
