ok, I found it for you, and don't want to misquote or put it out of context so here is the link, it is an interesting perspective of the business that we can gain insight on the views of how bigger sponsors see the future of the business so it makes for a good read:

I think the main reason for that is all the affiliate sources of traffic have been hit hard. SE, Tgps, Mgps, Submitters, Link lists etc. The guys who can send big sales really don't give a shit about tubes. They send traffic where it makes them the most money.
This thread isn't new. We got shit last year for working with RedTube. I watched our affiliate sales closely after that thread. We didn't lose a single affiliate in our top 50. Why? Because those that are interested in making big money don't care about whether I'm advertising on tube sites. The people hung up on tube sites and refusing to accept them are in trouble. Take a long at the list of companies advertising on tube sites. That list is long and it's a list of all the top relevant programs today.
