@urx585 It's an interesting theory that it's all an inside job, but it's hilariously wrong.
There is a paper trail for EVERYTHING that is done on the site, I'm sure if I looked through my inbox I could find all the DMCA notices for content I uploaded and had removed. I can personally attest that you get a private message EVERYTIME something you upload is taken down, with clear cut reason spelled out in the message.
You may have "observed" upload rates decrease in your mind, but if you looked at the site as a whole, uploads are on the same rhythm they always are. Slower in the middle of the week, higher on weekends
GTRU is in the tough spot of being one of the biggest, if not the THE biggest gay porn torrent site around so it's quite easy to have a target on our back when it comes to DMCA requests.
There is no Grand Conspiracy. Just the studios/onlyfans and their respective agents filing the legal paperwork asking for their content to be removed.
