Here we have a victim of "the great purge"
Out of the loop here. What was the great purge?
Once upon a time there were lots and lots of amateur videos on the great sites. Some really unforgivable pieces of sex art. And then due to legal issues they were completely gone. So that piece of sex history you have being looking for ages is probably lost to you.
I understand the fact it was because many of those videos were somewhat questionable to say the least, but there were some really good ones, and then no more.
Phub had an illegal content problem. They solved it by removing everything that wasn't uploaded by a verified user with real life credentials.
A lot of perfectly cromulent smut went down the drain with revenge porn and worse stuff.
They removed all videos from non-verified accounts a few years ago. They reason I heard they did this was so they didn't have to do as much work moderating uploads. One thing they had a big issue with was content posted without the consent of everyone involved (such as revenge porn).
