The pro/stolen content is what fills your top rated and most viewed lists. As of a few weeks ago, almost every video in those sections was stolen videos from members areas. Very little amateur/homemade content.

People didn't come to XTube to watch a guy jerk off on his homemade cam. They came for the shitload of stolen content and free professional videos. Sure it may adapt, and sure this might have been the plan all along. But it seems to me Xtube used the stolen content to build up its traffic and pulled the plug before the shit hit the fan.
