Ads must be clear and present by the video, b/c type-in alone just won't do the job.

there is nothing wrong with being on good terms with good tubes and crafting biz around what is out there. the core underlying problem is, for every "illegal" tube as people in this industry coin them, there are 10 more you don't know of trying to build up into the ranks and will burn your content out and use whatever it takes to do that. these are the real problems. it's an uphill battle, that is one part hardwork, and three parts bullshit. Atleast with pornhub, redtube, youporn they will take down the content. I know plenty that will just ignore it and then you have to DMCA the host. the wasted time adds up to lots of money when you factor in just having to hire people to do the job for you, that you really shouldn't have to do.

but like everything we disagree with in adult, things will work themselves out one way or another, just a question of, will you be on the side that is still earning, or the side that is yearning. And there is no clear cut way of knowing, b/c things can change at any time, for better or worse.
