Affiliates will be paid fractions of a cent to get people to download/view a video that contains some sort of advertising. Content providers will charge advertisers based on the download or viewing of the video including their product placement or commercial ad.

What are your thoughts on this?

That is a very likely scenario and a HORRIBLE one for us in porn. Advertisers have never wanted any association with porn and that's not going to change. Not quality advertisers anyway. Your scenario is already happening with the Tube sites supported by AFF and Cams - unfortunately it's all being done with stolen content. If they had to pay for even a fraction of that content they'd be broke in a month.
