Digital rise
Digital beings living among us

Vales' involvement in YouPorn's online activity could make it easier for the company to grow its presence on social platforms.
"With Vales coming on board, we'll be able to create the opportunity to interact with our users in a new environment. We look forward to seeing what Vales has in store," YouPorn's VP Charlie Hughes said, noting that it's the perfect spokesperson for them.
