As for not fucking the surfer it is one of our prime goals everyday to provide our members with the best possible experience, we continue to spend millions of dollars on content above and beyond IMO any other online company. That in no way takes away from our responsibilty to our affiliates and in that we work VERY hard to convert and monetize the traffic from all our affiliates, and we decline traffic on a daily basis from sources we don't agree with.

Tube sites are they the problem? or are the people running the sites the problem? Was thumbnails on sites stealing traffic from text only sites? Was MGP's over TGP's stealing affiliate sales away from the original owners?

To me tube sites are here and if you honestly believe they are going anywhere you are living in a world that I don't understand. NBC and other major networks have created their own tube networks to handle the online distribution of video to surfers, why if Major media is joining the tube race would any company look at blocking them as a traffic source? Wouldn't they instead work at creating a way to monetize that traffic and control it? Shap outlined a way for ALL affiliate programs to monetize tube traffic, Redtube does ok with us as an affiliate as good as any average tgp.
