What happened to the Porn Hub channe?

I remember I used to be able to add Pornhub to my Roku.  Why is this no longer possible?

Porn Hub was one of the developers that placed an app in the Private Channels section (later called Non-Certified Channels) and never went beyond. When Roku clamped down on developers who never submitted for certification, and restricted non-certified apps to a 120 day life, Porn Hub was one of the many that were caught up. It, and many other apps, went away and were never submitted and approved.

And almost immediately after that happened Roku stock took a dive.  The availability of porn was an inducement to many people to purchase a Roku vs Apple or Amazon's offerings.  Most smart investors know not to discount the effect porn can have on a seemly unrelated product.
