Not really the same as MGP's, as MGP's generally offer a couple of 10 to 60 second low-res samples in hopes of driving traffic to the actual pay site.

Most tube sites are not redirecting traffic back to the pay sites they belong to, and many are now hiding the clip's watermark too, so there is no redirect.

Try to start a tube site with JUST 30 second clips, like a traditional MGP, and you will not have a very popular tube site.

You will have to compete by offering longer clips, more extreme clips, larger resolutions, etc.

You cannot compete within a business model that works best when you are offering bigger, faster and better free porn than your competition. It just doesn't make sense on any level.

My 2 cents anyway...
