If you disable adult content filters on Bluesky, you can very easily see why for yourself. Content thieves.

Are we talking the clips on the hub or full length films?
Because I'm pretty sure the full length ones don't have watermarks, just the clips on porn sites, so they can advertise where you can get the full film.
-
There is a lot of companies that watermark their full length movies.
Mater of fact, even creators on only fans movies are watermarked.
-
Most probably brand recognition and or copyright protection, like half the videos on porn sites aren't uploaded by the original creators, just illegal rips, so it probably helps them with takedowns and shit.
If there were better copyright protections for porn, they wouldn't feel the need to watermark their stuff.
Plus you gotta treat only fans as the independents they are, you can't compare the big tiddy goth girl on only fans to Netflix, they're nowhere near the same.

Porn is work. Why should it not be watermarked?
-
Movies are work, why are they not watermarked?
-
They are. At the beginning or end. And Movies are distributed and consumed differently than porn
-
-
-
So that people know who made when it gets copied and shared by 3rd parties.
-
You don't see that at normal movies.
It's like if you are watching Netflix, you don't expect to see their logo in the whole movie.
Just once at the start of the movie. That's it.
-
Normal movies are usually made by big companies and involve famous actors, so it's very hard to post them to another platform and claim them as your own without people noticing.

What is "porn watermark"?

People watermarking their porn? So that other people can't steal it and pretend to be them...?? obviously??
As I said in my other comment, that does not happen in normal movies.
Like Netflix make movies worth millions, but they don't watermark it in the actual movie.
Because porn is spread differently. When was the last time you went to a colleague and said: "Hey did you see the last Johny Sins scene? I really liked how he swung his hips on XY's ass..." that never happens and if it does... it's another level of gooning. What happens more often is that you say: "The last Nicolas Cage movie was kinda meh. Longlegs was not a movie I would have casted him on..."
For porn, you sometimes share a clip that stands out with a friend and don't really elaborate... often so to shock or troll. That's when the watermark comes in handy for people to know where to find the full thing. Movies don't need that as everybody is talking freely about them.
