I do know the ratios on tubes vs quality mgp sites, specially where I can
design and optimize the galley format (selling points) and provide quality
video. I have tried tube sites and tried to make enough sales, the ratio's are
terrible.

Sad thing is that optimised design just ends up old. Every affiliate using the
same design, all on your bandwidth. An affiliate that actually takes time to
design their own galleries and do them properly seems to be a rare thing
these days.

I just really do not see why a sponsor alone should foot the bill, keep payouts the same and give such sites the one key the need.

Did you drop payouts when you introduced FHGs?
Don't you pay for all the bandwidth on those? Including the weighty designs?

Reality is yes tube sites will work, sponsors will do it, tube sites will then still
make money pushing dating, webcams, and stuff like pills.

As market penetration increases, signup ratios drop, but bottom line and
market size keeps going up. The sponsor makes more money even as their
ratio goes down year after year (as long as they keep existing sites fresh and
release new products over time).
Affiliates however end up hitting a bit of a wall when it comes to these
ratios, they have a limited pool of users, where the sponsor has a large
variety of traffic sources a TGP has their bookmarkers and trades.... If TGPs
had an unlimited number of products and sponsors they trusted and could
work with it wouldn't be a problem. However webmasters stick with the
sponsors they know, and over time they become less effective on their small
pool of the same surfers, or large pool of surfers on sites displaying the same
products. Thus TGPs branch out into tangable and non-adult products to
display something fresh and different to these tired eyes.
Meanwhile no matter how saturated the content becomes, the sponsors
brand just keeps on growing.
Really this branding and exposure is the key business of a sponsor.
What better way to get your fresh content out there and promoted then
PUSH it rather then wait months for affiliates to login and PULL it?
The market is there, who cares about the signup ratio, either you promote to
the market or ignore them, however ignoring them doesn't make them your
customer any faster.
