If you add a major affiliate program or big plugin content provider, wouldn't you profit from the growth? I don't see how it's any different.

Typically, "illegal" tubes have the longest videos and the most of them, therefore they _generally_ get more traffic, burn up way more bandwidth, and use the most resources (hard drive space, processing, multiple servers, etc) which all drive the cost up. When hosts are only charging ~$2.50/mbit they are not even charging for the multiple servers being used.
Like he mentioned above if it's under 1 gbps it really is a small tube, the bigger ones push 15-100 gbps a day. This huge commit does however allow a host to have better pricing as they are purchasing more bandwidth therefore can resell to other clients not running a huge tube at $10+/mbit.
