It's a big change and it's fresh, so of course there's a lot of "concern", but give it a little while and all the whining will go away. Remember the early days of Facebook when they'd change the layout and for two days, your feed was nothing but people crying about the new layout and saying they're closing their accounts?

I don't agree with the first part. Some of the best videos on Pornhub are those "shitty" amateur videos. If you don't realize that a huge number of people are not into professional porn then it's okay. We just don't have the same opinion. We know that 70 percent of all searches performed online consist of long-tail keywords, and I think it's the same or similar in the adult industry. People have millions of different fetishes and I'm doubt those studios and verified users can cover all, if not just a few.
As I mentioned, even Pornhub is the biggest, it's just a porn site. It's not Facebook which you don't really have better alternatives, and the Facebook change it was not a really big deal. Users don't depend on Pornhub. They don't have social relationships there. They go to Pornhub, watch porn and go. And they can do that anywhere else. This Pornhub's core change is on a completely different level. A little more appropriate example is probably Tumblr.
Anyway, it is not about Pornhub to me. In short term this looks good for other sites and there are opportunities. However, in the long term it is not known. What I'm really concerned about is what else organizations like National Center on Sexual Exploitation or Exodus Cry / TraffickingHub (the guys behind all of this) would do with porn sites in particular and the adult industry in general. A giant like Pornhub have to change. What about other platforms? What about Google and other big social medias? Those are giving us traffic? I may be a bit pessimistic, but I see a rather tough future for the adult industry. So I wouldn't be too happy.
