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.
I can speak to that as well.

We are content providers, as well as tube site players, and affiliate program owners.

The market for porn content will always exist. People will always be willing to pay for it.

These statements may not seem obvious with the biggest tube sites offering full length movies for free, but it is a statement of fact.

These are my reasons for why:

1) Some people love reading mags- and will always want to have them stuffed under their mattress.

2) Some people don't like waiting a long time for videos to load, ergo subscriptions sites that are niche specific will survive for the foreseeable future

3) Mobile porn is growing rapidly, and people like the privacy of being able to jack off in the bathroom at work or on lunch break

4) PPV porn works because you can get in and out, and find stuff that you like easily. So VOD sites will continue to grow

5) SE PPC will bring niche traffic to any site you want, for the foreseeable future

6) Some people like buying DVD's. Market will always have a share, and will transition into new technology once Blu-Ray becomes obsolete and so on.

7) New technology dictates something else will replace tube sites. I have an inkling of what that will be and am already preparing for it.
