Here's the xhamster.com terms of service. Definitely seems to coincide with the issues with the issues Pornhub was having.
The New York Times article about Pornhub was dated December 9, 2020. Xhamster's terms also changed six days later on December 15, 2020.
As for specifically finding the ability to download videos on either the regular or premium site(s) - there are nineteen sections therein the TOS. Read them when you have a chance..
Maybe they're about to get fucked like pornhub. That, or the hamster ate it.
Sections Three to Six of the xhamster terms of service tell me that they aren't going to to be screwed like Pornhub. Section Three of the TOS pretty much covers that. That hasn't changed. They've put section 3.1.1 through section 3.2.5 now in
boldface.
