The problem I see for that business model is that it has maybe a 3 year lifespan before the ROI starts to die for the dating and cam sites. And once the dating and cam sites stop advertising on them, there really isn't a viable source of income for them because trying to sell a membership to a site you have completely ripped for free is gonna be one helluva hard thing to do.
But, if you can make a couple of million bucks in the meantime...I'm guessing these guys don't really care. They have no skin in the game and aren't worried about longterm.

Makes sense. Too bad though. I guess this business has always been plagued by the short-term thinkers. Money talks I guess. I have to go start ripping video now (kidding).
No, but seriousely, I have been thinking of putting together a promo based site using a tube platform, and letting others start their own (legit) tuge site using the platform (inserting their own partner codes) and getting the webmaster referrals and a 1:10 residual traffic, So I had to ask. I still think the real, long term money is in partner refferals. Just brainstorming.
