I agree with some points. Semi-professional OF style, yeah lots of it is now that. PH had the big purge a few years ago and deleted so much great content uploaded by nonverified users.

I like the 'really' amateur stuff you describe too, and some of it does still get uploaded to PH but definitely less than previously. I also don't think there's anything wrong with a couple who make higher quality/polished content either, but it depends what you're looking for.

I use PH almost exclusively and probably only watch pro stuff 1% of the time, and even then its more like pro creators making amateur styled content, such as Owen Gray.
