The sales now goes to fake dating sites.. sooner or later that will have an end too

I disagree. The youtube model is my evidence.

Yeah, blame the new roads when people drive to fast.

Fuck ethics and moral, just shoot at anything that moves, and if it don't move - kick it a little

I'd blame the economy all over the world before blaming the tube sites but that doesn't make the tube sites any less annoying.

Bullshit, tubesites has much traffic..

its bandwidth prices dropping to a level that makes the cost of delivering video content worth the meager marginal revenue. i think the tubesites are the scapegoats here, but you can manage the content with 3rd party solutions.

you can buy a license for a ton of non-exclusive content and have a legal tube site running. and its hurting this biz because similar content was previously available at a higher cost than just going to a site.

Cheap bandwidth is good
Piracy is bad

the economy and content saturation seem to be the culprits here

cost of stamps goes down = more junkmail

cost of gas goes down = more driving

cost of storage goes down = larger applications using more resources are built

cost of bw goes down = more content delivered with lower marginal expectations of return

The tube sites in the Alexa top 100 didn't get their by displaying dirt cheap non-exclusive licensed content. They got there by showing A list exclusive content they stole, sometimes within days or less of being released.

I think that the bigger picture is a WHOLE lot more than most people are considering.

1. Its the willingness to steal content.
2. Its the desire to find things for free
3. its the availability to cheaply get the platform to run it on.
4. Its the lack of enforcement on it.

And many more.

Economy 55%
Shady Cross Sale, Fucking Customer 40%
Tubes 5%

free inventory is good for a business...ive been living off it for years...
the big tubes take it to a higher, uncontrolled level...

True, people will clue into the fact that the ads on those sites are fake sooner or later.
