So, let's just get everything in a row here.

Hub purged about 80% of their videos. Anything that was by anyone unverified was axed. This is after they got reports of underage and illegal non-consensual stuff on their website. Credit card issuers threatened to pull support for the site. The site tried to go through and just purge that stuff and make additional checks. Credit Card issuers again said no and still cut off payment.

Hub then purged the videos in response. Only verified accounts can post now.

HOWEVER, the problem is that a middle aged teen for the last year had posted her content there and that site even gave her an award or recognition of some sort as one of the up and coming names or something. And, that teen was a verified account also.

So, it is not exactly sure if purging these videos even helps their case or not to these credit companies.

It more has to do with public opinion, as long as the public feels the website is combating child/revenge porn the less likely the credit card companies are going to care.

I'm not sure what the verification process is, but I imagine it's tied to a person/company so if there was something illegal that was uploaded that person/company would be held liable rather than having to deal with anonymous uploads.
