I made this post before.. but I'll summarize.

There is nothing at all wrong with the tube concept it's self.. The problem is businesses and webmasters have embraced the bad side of the tube format.. Meaning the word "Tube" has become synonymous with the word "Free".

Let's face it tube sites can be a very good way of dilivering content, but people should really be pushing "legal" membership tubes that offer paid for content.. This could be a Porn paysite or a music video streaming site, ect..ect.

I mean think if HBO or Showtime offered tube sites which allowed you to view their movies on demand. You don't think people would pay a subscription for that? There are many concepts along this line of thinking that could probably work, but we need to over come the "Tube = Free" mindset..
