Date this page and it explains itself. It was written in March 2020, and it consisted of deep links to individual uploads on open platforms. Nine months later most of that class of address stopped resolving at once — not through the slow attrition that eventually kills any link list, but because of one decision taken in December 2020.
What changed
In mid-December 2020, Pornhub restricted uploading to verified accounts and content partners, and removed everything that had been posted by anyone else. The change followed reporting alleging that the site hosted material involving abuse, and the withdrawal of card acceptance by Visa and Mastercard. Contemporaneous coverage put the library at somewhere around thirteen and a half million videos beforehand and under three million within days.
That is the figure to sit with. The majority of what a very large platform was serving vanished inside a week, and the criterion for whether any given file survived was not what it contained. It was whether the account that posted it had completed a verification process.
Why that reframes every list like this one
A roundup of open-platform links is a bet that the individual copies will stay where they are. That bet was always shaky. What December 2020 demonstrated is that it can also be settled all at once, by a decision made several levels above the file, on a criterion that has nothing to do with the file.
So any list of this kind assembled before that date is not merely out of date; it is a description of a platform that no longer exists in that form. The scenes it pointed at may well still be available, sold by whoever produced them, uploaded again by a verified account, or hosted on a studio's own site. The addresses are what the change destroyed.
It also set the pattern that has held since. Verification is now the load-bearing property across this part of the web, and the practical version of that is straightforward: content posted by a studio's own channel, or by a performer's own verified account, sits on the durable side of any future clean-up. Content posted by an anonymous account does not, and is not meant to.
If you are building a reading list rather than following someone else's, Pornhub and the other large tube sites are best used through those verified channels — the account is the address that survives, not the video.
Dating a list you find
This is a usable test for any roundup, on any site, including ones published since. Look for the date first. If the page predates December 2020 and its recommendations are deep links to individual uploads on open platforms, you can assume most of them are gone before checking a single one. If it postdates the change and still recommends anonymous uploads, that tells you something about how carefully it was assembled.
The original version of this page also opened with a paragraph of personal detail: where the performer grew up, what she did for a living beforehand, a relationship she ended, and a count of the people she had slept with. It was unsourced, it is private, it concerns a living identifiable person, and it is not repeated here — which leaves the page with the one genuinely informative thing it had, which was its date.
