Short term thinking. You shouldn't simply go by sale volume in this case. If it takes 250,000 video views to make a sale at those tubes but only 10,000 video views at an affiliate's site then it's in your long term best interests that the affiliate site gets more traffic. But you are creating the opposite and you are killing the affiliate site in order to favor the poor converter. Though there are new emerging markets and a rise in the amount of people coming online the growth does not offset such a conversion difference. If this weren't the case most porn companies would be thriving right now.

Conversions aren't simply ratios but also you have to factor in ctr and things like typein traffic.

Common sense: If something is available for free and immediately accessible for free most people will not pay for it.

also what is illegal if you give them the content?
The content you share is legal. But it doesn't mean they do not have your other content up elsewhere. It does not mean they won't pirate your stuff in the future. It does not mean they aren't pirating the content of your competitors in the same niches.
