Look there are so many different ways of doing tubes. "Tube" is just a name for the content delivery and surfing method for those kinds of sites, though the scope and different ways of working within that model are huge.

Yes I do make reasonable money from my fairly large tube site. I take submits and only list around 20 a day from the 100+ submits I get, and don't approve anything that is too long (usually 5mins is max). From my own videos on my tube I convert an average of 1:200 just from clicks on the clickable field I allow submitters.

Its not guys like me who are hurting the industry, its the selfish pricks and idiots uploading 20 min clips, or the assholes with stolen content. Anyone with half a brain knows thats not a winning business model. You give them a few mins of reduced quality video and leave them wanting more ... they get the sample and if they like what they see they will signup! Its a great model if done correctly.
