You're in. Here's what to do first, how you build standing on the site, and the one mistake that costs more people their account than everything else put together.
More than nine out of ten accounts ever removed from ThaHub were removed for the same reason: they signed up, took a look around, and never contributed anything. Not one token, not one upload.
We call it leeching and we clear them out every so often. About a third of those removals happen in someone's first month. Getting approved isn't the finish line, it's where you start.
How to never worry about this
Make one real contribution, or get one upload approved. That's the whole bar. If there's actual activity on your account, nobody is coming looking for you.
Have a look through Thots and Categories, or search for a creator you already follow. Public content is free to watch, so start there and get a feel for what's here.
Find something private that's worth unlocking and put tokens in. This is the most important thing you can do in your first week. It gets you the content and pays back whoever bought it.
Bought a PPV yourself? Upload the original. It's worth more rank points than anything else you can do, and people pay you back for it.
Leave a comment, react to things, join the Discord. Requests are how everyone tells uploaders what to go buy next.
Rank points track how much you put in. Three things earn them, and they're added automatically.
You get these once a mod approves your upload. Quickest way to climb.
Put in 50 tokens, get 100 points. Scales with however much you contribute.
For each download of content you already have access to.
The first target worth aiming at is 400 points. That's Booty Bandit, and it switches on hover previews across the site. Before that you're browsing on posters alone. One approved upload and a small contribution will get you there.
