They removed any and all videos from non-monetized partners, that is, unless you're a studio or a certified porn star using their Model Hub program, your stuff got deleted, even if you are certified. The reasoning behind this is they're looking to verify the authenticity of the videos uploaded on there, so as to be able to get the CC processors back in their pocket. The problem is that in the process, they got rid of a ton of awesome videos which made the platform what it once was.
Many of the authentic videos on there were those from regular Janes/Joes, not studio-produced/porn-star produced content. That's all gone, for now, until such time as they institute a verification model that allows others to verify before being granted the opportunity to upload videos.
This will drive people to other sites, like XNXX/xVideos (Both owned by Web Group) while MindGeek (owners of PornHub and pretty much every major tube site/studio on the face of this planet) gets their stuff in order. I think this will also push a lot of people the way of OnlyFans, where content producers keep churning a ton of amateur content (granted, not always quality content, but still, amateur content, no less.)
