About VaultPremium & Our Editorial Standards

VaultPremium is an independent editorial publication reviewing premium adult subscription networks. Every review is produced by a named editor under a published 8-point testing protocol, on a personal credit card, in a documented 14-day window. We are a publication — not a doorway.

Meet the Editor — Marcus Holloway

Marcus has spent twelve years covering the premium adult-entertainment industry as a reviewer, billing-systems analyst, and former subscription-product manager. He has personally tested 200+ paid networks across six payment processors and four continents, with hands-on coverage of streaming performance, cancellation workflows, and content-quality benchmarking.

His reviews emphasize verifiable, reproducible testing over opinion. Marcus does not accept paid placements; all affiliate relationships are disclosed at the top of every review.

Background: Former subscription-product manager for two consumer SaaS platforms (non-adult); freelance technology writer covering streaming media (2014–present); credit-card-industry analyst (2018–2020).

Our Editorial Standards

1. Hands-On Testing — Always

Every flagship review on VaultPremium is built on a real subscription, paid on the editor's personal credit card. We do not accept comp accounts. We do not review networks we haven't subscribed to. Our 8-point methodology →

2. Named Authorship

Every review carries a byline. Every byline links to a real editor bio with contact, credentials, and verifiable professional history. We do not publish anonymously.

3. Affiliate Disclosure at the Top, Not the Bottom

VaultPremium earns affiliate commissions when readers subscribe through our links. This is disclosed at the top of every review, not buried in the footer. Full disclosure →

4. No Paid Placements — Ever

We do not accept money in exchange for rankings, scores, or favorable editorial coverage. Networks have offered. We have declined.

5. Verifiable Claims Only

If we publish a number (bitrate, resolution, cancellation time, billing descriptor), it was measured by the editor with a documented tool. If we can't verify it, we don't publish it. Time-sensitive claims are flagged "as of writing."

6. Published Update Cadence

Flagship reviews re-verified every 90 days. Discount pages every 14 days. Comparison pages every 120 days. Every page carries a visible "Last verified" stamp under the H1.

7. Editorial Recourse

If anything on the site doesn't match your experience, the contact form goes to the editor's inbox. Pages are typically updated within 24 hours.

Why VaultPremium Exists

There are roughly forty active "premium porn review" sites indexed on Google. We read all of them before we built this one. The pattern was unmissable: anonymous authors, recycled marketing copy, "10/10" verdicts on every single network, no testing methodology, no update dates, and affiliate links buried under fake objectivity.

That isn't journalism. It's a doorway. VaultPremium is the alternative.

The Result

A smaller library than the doorway sites, but a more honest one. We currently cover two flagship networks in depth — PornWorks and Seduced.com — plus 56 supporting decision tools. If a network isn't on the site, it's because we haven't subscribed to it ourselves.

Our Commercial Model

VaultPremium earns affiliate commissions when readers subscribe to networks through our verified links. We do not earn:

• Paid placements or sponsored review slots
• "Featured network" fees
• Direct payments from networks for coverage
• Cash for favorable scoring

Our affiliate relationships are with the same standard programs available to any qualified publisher. Commission rates are roughly comparable across networks, so we have no financial incentive to favor one over another in our editorial.
