Xfights.to looks a little suspect. Is it on the up and up, or not?
No

It is a piracy site that uses credit card fraud to buy more clips to pirate.
I thought it was a dodgy site, CF producers must hate it!
There is one positive to the site not so much for the producers but definitely for the consumer and that is the long trailers for every video. I'd never subscribe or give my card info to that site but I can say without a doubt the trailers on that site have persuaded me to by quite a few videos from the actual producers just because I actually got to sample the video before buying it. It's also saved me from wasting my money on a shitty video where the producer either didn't have a trailer at all but oversold or straight up lied about the videos content in the description or had a 20 second snippet of the best (and only) good moments of the video also misleading the buyer. So while it unfortunately really hurts the company that it's pirating content from it also may lead to an interest in buying. So in a nutshell use it to sample a video (if it's on the site) then go to the actual studio and buy from them, C4S or wherever you can buy it LEGITIMATELY
This is probably the best argument for the site I've seen so far. Also, if the site ever gets taken down, good luck getting your membership fee back!

this is so true! Many producers could learn from this example
I agree. this site could turn legit by keeping the long unbiased previews and having links to the sale page.

If producer sell at c4s they have to follow the rules of 30 seconds preclip. If the producer sells on Loyalfans they must keep to the rule of 90 seconds preclip.

How can a site which is stealing our content and threatening future production ever turn legit??????
Anyone who supports this site is risking further production, when we are all struggling already with Mastercard restrictions and age verification impacting sales!
They aren't legit. If you try and purchase a membership, you have to use crypto and it's listed as an "aloe vera supplements".
As a producer, I fucking hate it. But if no one is giving them money and using their sites for a free preview, I can live with that ????.

They are in some country where its hard to make jurisdiction of copyrights.
Its content has dropped off considerably in the past month. I assume producers are getting wise to it
