Free porn sites should be full of advertising and pop-ups. Surfing for free porn should be made as miserable experience as possible. That way the surfer is MOTIVATED to PAY for the HQ fresh content without the pop-ups and ads.

What gets me even more is that these TGPs now expect submitters to pay for this privilege. Considering how crappy TGP traffic is it should be the other way around.

It'd be like if Baskins Robbins version of a free sample was a regular single scoop cone then they ask me if I was willing to pay for a double scoop. I'd say "Um no thanks I'll just keep coming back for my free cone everyday because that's really all I need." Then they sit there wondering why they aren't making hardly any sales.
90+% of all gallery content is provided free by the sponsors to any goof that claims to be a webmaster...
