"unknown" channels are not recorded in the section authorName #18

Open SalvatoreRomano1 opened 4 years ago

Looking at the final poTest scv I found that all the videos published by "unknown" author have no authorName and no authorLink. This happens both with type: home and with type: recommended.

I saw that now! thanks for noticing it. should we wrote "unknow" ? and how comes it can happen? @spaghettinucleari do you have any clue on why ph let upload video by user without linkable profile?

spaghettinucleari commented 4 years ago

sorry, not sure what's happening, there shouldn't be unknown profiles, maybe they have been banned? but why the videos are still present?

Some of the authorName not recorded by poTREX have been removed in the last week by the platform. Probably it's an "unknown" author later removed. removed videos It would be interesting to see the procedure to upload a video in Pornhub, I don't know why an author should post a video on the platform as "unknown", but I am quite sure that most of the videos posted are created by the same company that owns Pornhub or by verified authors that work for the company.
