The benefit of people having to buy their own content to put on galleries is simple.

It reduces the number of affiliates, TGPs, LLs and the like by 75%.

When the system of giving surfers free content and directing traffic costs more than the actual product something will suffer. Usually the surfer will think to himself, why buy when so much is available for free?

Your job is to make surfers bookmark your site, sponsors job is to make him not bookmark you site while giving thousands of affiliates the tools to make your site more attractive.

I do not think free content is the problem, in fact I believe it brings more surfers to the Adult Net for us to persuade into signing up. What is the problem is paying out so much to the "traffic" section of the industry to the detriment of the product.

However all this does is make my site and some others look better. When the competition is giving out 50 videos for the same price some give 400+ for it only makes some look good.
