There is 6 to 8 ad spots significantly more prominent on that page, and they are mostly above the fold line. The sponsor's content is being used mostly to sell dating and sell cam shows. It isn't being used to sell their site.
There is no argument you can make that would make that problem go away. All this site is doing is giving away an ass load of content and not even bothering to put the effort into marketing the sites that the content comes from.
I dare you to make a few galleries like this and show them to your sponsors and see how they feel.

You're right but I've ever asked the agreement of the sponsors that I promote. I know lots of sponsor owners that are promoting their sites on xtube. What's the difference between a gallery and an uploaded movie on xtube? None. They're free contents giving away. It needs about a couple of hundreds of tube sites to cover all free stuff that you can find looking tgp/free sites and so on. Sponsors haven't any problem with galleries.
Regarding CTR you're right too. But it seems that this CTR is good for both side. Xtube owners get a huge % of clicks to their adv. That's good and the smaller % of clicks on webmaster's banners seems to be profitable too if people keep posting every day ;).
