The big programs are working in conjunction with legal tube sites and figuring out the best models to make money with the growth in this space, and tgp mgp owners are no longer the ballers they thought they were.
Given that they were so profitable for so long I have no problem calling them out, because most have made their money and can now do something new. The people that can't adapt from this space deserve to go out of business.
Simple as that

I agree with you completly. I didn't want to write a book, so I left off the other losers (besides non interactive sites). But tgps are definetly one of them, also I see content producers taking a beating.
TGP/MGP's where were you went when you wanted free porn, it was easy to surf and they offered just about the best free stuff on the net you could find. Even legal tube sites are blowing them away with even better ways to surf and much longer videos.
but you hit the nail on the head, the fact that tgps sold top spots for so much money those days will be over for them in the near future. As they lose traffic they will produce less paying customers, as that happens the value of their ad spots will decrease to the point it wont be worth paying to be listed anymore.
I also see lots of tgp guys saying tube sites are a fad, they will go away, etc... perhaps it is more wishfull thinking than anything.
I also see this hitting the content guys in the pocket as well. Who wants to pay 5K for a custom scene just to have it ripped and the full length clip all over the net for people to see for free. As more and more non interactive sites lose money they will pay less for content, to the point a lot of them will go out of business. The problem for content guys, they can't adapt, they can't produce live content unless they open a studio and hire webcam chathosts. There will always be a need for content to be made but in most cases it will be for advertising purposes which people are not going to pay a high price for. Things are definetly changing.
