Why is everyone acting like this is the death of amateur content? Verified amateurs are a thing. Even if they currently aren't, the verification system can very easily be updated to allow it (and will be, because PH knows how popular their amateur stuff is).

The bottom line here is that the ability to upload content completely anonymously is being abused for criminal purposes. Removing that anonymity makes such criminal activity significantly riskier (since they're uploading illegal content under their own identity), at the cost of a couple extra bureaucratic hoops for legitimate users to jump through. That's not unreasonable, really.

The government could just create one big catalog of underage videos for the pornsites to use to cross-reference their uploaded videos and have those automatically rejected whenever someone tries to upload one so that there would never be repeat offenses.

This should probably happen at least for the sake of preventing revenge porn and the like from remaining in circulation. With actual CP/trafficking content being shared for commercial purposes, the people sharing it will likely be able to bypass that detection, but people that are just reuploading somebody else's video that got taken down generally won't put such effort in because they're just doing it for fun. That would at least help make revenge porn a little less persistent, since as it stands, victims basically have to commit themselves full-time to harassing porn sites in order to keep squashing reuploads. That would also make it a lot easier for somebody that wants to get out of doing porn to erase their presence, as an added bonus.
