The Hun, Worldsex, Pinkworld, etc play no games with any surfers.

When TGP's were started, paysites consisted mostly of pictures. So people gave away 15-20 pictures from a 100 picture set.
A TGP updated with probably 1500 pictures per day, the very best paysites at the time updated with maybe that many per week.

When MGP's were started, paysites were just starting to offer downloadable movies. They were short and low quality but still an improvement over the pornholio and igallery streams that were really the only thing available at the time for paysites.

MGP galleries had about 2 mins worth of movies. The average MGP added 200 minutes worth of movies a day when the average paysite added maybe that much in a month.

Today, the top paysites update 20+ times per week, with 30-45+ minute movies in stunning quality. 2mbps or better, plus downloads for iphone, live interaction, social networking features, etc.

What tubes are giving away today, in relation to what the top paysites have to offer, is really no different than past generations of free sites. Also, if you look closely at the bigger tube sites, you'll see that the most popular content tends to be the user created content (i.e. home movies), which 99.99% of paysites don't offer, so that's not really a competitive factor.
