I think there will be tubes for the foreseeable future, however I think some of them will be changing. I think we will see the downfall/decline of the tubes that have the 20 minute movies on them and all the illegal content. When you give that much away for free it is next to impossible to actually sell a membership. I think giving all that away for free really limits what type of advertising you can have on the site and eventually that advertising stagnates so your already slim profits decline even more and force you to start curbing your expenses like bandwidth. I think those sites will then either have to change become a tube that offers much smaller clips or they will just go out of business. If there were all super profitable then why are most (if not all) of the big tubes up for sale and actively looking for buyers? And why is nobody buying them?

I think blogs will be around for a long time because I think the primary reason for them is as search engine food and that traffic is typically pretty good. I would take 1,000 target search engine hits over 50,000 tube hits any day.
