1. Tubes do make big money on their prepaid advertisers among other channels.

2. Many tubes also do great joins a day from adult advertising on the video. Sad to say, for example, when Pornhub was first coming up big, they were sending us 30-40 joins a day from the ads next to our videos ( not ads next to other peoples ). But this affects how much they can sell the other ad space for an that trumps the money to be made in the joins, and is prepaid.

3. I agree traffic is shifting around. Only time will tell if this will shift back into a system that powers adult directly or continues to be monetized primarily by the people that didn't produce the content ( Dating, Cams, or Adbuyers )

4. Anyone that believes they will change on their own accord is clueless. The only time you will see change is when the saturation point and ad buying money drops and they are forced to change. Or if some laws change.

Other than that, threads like this, are like pretending to be able to guess what a program does a day in joins. You're pissing in the wind, and they are just laughing about it.
