You can still supply a bunch of content in "tube" format but give them a different type of experience.. If you just turn your paysite into a tube, there's no reason to join at all since you're now directly competing with every other tube out there and it's free content. The site blends in as opposed to standing out... Think freeones as opposed to pornhub/youporn etc.
When you consider that in fashion, trends usually start in obsure or previously unrelated places, the trends are adapted by top designers who sell them at boutiques in NYC/Paris/Milan, then the high end department stores like Bergdorf, then middle class dep stores like Macy's, and then finally at Wal Mart as a poor man's version of the original trend as new trends are becoming all the rage, does it really surprise you that Pimproll turned a paysite into a tube in October 2011?
