It seems like what has happened with self-produced porn websites is that they are now removing content unless it's clear that all parties shown are okay with their sexual activities being recorded and distributed online.  Someone whose content I liked a lot removed all of his videos from XTube and wrote basically that he could no longer share his videos there due to lack of clear consent of his scene partners to be shown in videos there.  A guy I subscribe to on OnlyFans wrote that he's only able to put up scenes where the other scene partners also have OnlyFans pages, so it's obvious that they consent to having their sexual activity recorded and shared online.  I don't know if it's true, but I did notice a number of months ago that basically XTube turned from being amateur porn (a lot of it of dubious quality) to being dominated by studio porn, most of it teasers where one would have to pay to see the full scene.

Indeed, the end of an era....but no real explanation given as to why.  I don't really visit the site anymore because stuff just started to decline.  It seems as though unless a site can reinvent itself or stay up to date, it will eventually fade away.

I'm surprised it took this long.  They had to crack down on the user uploads and delete a huge portion of the content, and a lot of what remained was studio teaser snips like they have on the PornHub sites.  I'm a little surprised they couldn't pivot to bank on the paid subscriptions more like OnlyFans, but I think their userbase was less inclined to use that feature when they had free content in the same site alongside the subscription stuff.  It makes sense that the operators would start shuttering redundant or declining properties.  I think they've got at least six sites running, if not more.

XTube went through several ownership changes over the years and after every change the website was redesigned and became worse, not better. They also had a wonky video player (not that OnlyFans' overwhelmed servers make for a better experience). I think the crackdown on having consent on file plus migration of users to other platforms slowly killed the site.

does anyone know where to find user delightfullove00 videos? he is this cute nerdy guy all his xtube videos are deleted or the account was disabled.

The best bet is to google his username.  It looks like some of his videos were re-uploaded to other sites.  If he didn't upload them himself, they probably won't be up indefinately.  If the guy didn't have any other presence or aliases online, his stuff will probably disappear as these sites purge unattributable content.
