Why do people keep saying this?

It's not how people are using them that is the issue. There is no good business model that could be used by a tube site that can benefit the sponsor. Concatenating galleries from every sponsor and putting them on one page is a good idea? Putting gigs of 1-2 minute clips on one site that can be immediately watched, this is a good idea? It's a good idea if you are interested in getting page views and charging for advertising. Youtube doesn't sell memberships, it sells advertising. The porn version of youtube is the exact same model.

If you have a 'legal' tube site and on video viewing page there is a small link back to the sponsor with the page completely bukkakaed by dvd, fling, and aff ads, is the owner of the tube site really trying to sell memberships to the sponsor content (which is generating traffic to the tubesite)?
