I've seen numerous threads about the tubes and in your opinion All the pay sites will die because of the tubes because tubes are better. Now can you please tell me from where the Tubes are getting the content? Lots are them are getting the content from pay sites. If tubes will not make sales, how the fuck they will cover bandwidth and other expenses? No one is going to run Tubes for few cents.
Every business has a model and the revenue is a must. if revenue fall to shit, business will close. It is possible that the model of business has shifted to tubes but selling something has to be involved If you want to run any business in the world. You are thinking it the wrong way. Tubes are killing the industry, that's right but don't you think that on-line buyers are increasing day by day ?
There are lots of dudes who are still pushing galleries and making a fortune. Even dudes are still making money off AVS
If I am all wrong and If this industry dies and solely gets dependent on tubes, I'll leave it. That's all I can say.

You don't get it.
As long as tubes are able to make a reasonable profit, they will continue to exist - regardless of the influence they have on the rest of the industry.
Tubes with a "premium" option and lots of ads will continue to make a profit even if sales to other paysites are virtually non-existent. Adult dating, penis enlargement, gambling, dating guides, cams, biz ops, sex guides, escort listings, sex toys - there are plenty of options other than paysite sales to generate income purely based on traffic numbers.
You say nobody is going to run tubes for a few cents, but that leads to an inevitable question: why not? If something can generate enough income to cover bandwidth costs and employee costs, and generate a reasonable income on top of that,
someone will run it.
