The tube style sites appear for the most part to be too far ahead of the cost of bandwidth curve. They are also a little lacking in a true business model, mostly just aping youtube and trying to find income.

They have found traffic that is for sure, but I have a feeling that they have created a type of traffic that is actually worse than skim TGP traffic. Most of them appear to be making income from dating sites and pay for space ads, which may or may not work out. It is doubtful that people will pay big money over the long run to try to sell to leeches and such.

I suspect you will see these sites shift more and more to shorter videos, more "tricks" to get people to click forward, and even to go as far as to install toolbars or adware to try to make ends meet.

in the mean time, they teach more and more people every day to get porn for free instead of paying for it.
