The thing that is mind bogglingly stupid about the tube sites is that they are leaving tons of money on the table by not working with the paysites.
They are convinced they can only offer full-length vids and don't work in shorter clips with good linkage back to the paysites.. they would be getting paid for that, and theyd be alot less of a pariah.
I've seen tube sites gets sales- it can and does happen- ratios arent too bad either, especially these days.
BUT only a handful of them do it the right way- the rest just sandwich the video with no links back to the paysite in between an eyesore mess of live cam and dating ads.
The surfer is there to watch vids of his fave star or whatever niche he likes- how much better can a AFF banner do vs a banner to that girl's official site, or a site full of that guy's favorite niche? Not much better really, but they don't do this.. its really dumb.
A nice cleanly designed tube site with 2-8 minute clips linking well back to sponsors and also with some cam/dating stuff can do well, and not dick everyone over.
I like the tube site as a video-delivery medium, lets face it, text link lists are kinda tired.. flv is cool, etc but the way most tube sites are doing it is just frikkin dumb
