And then attack anyone who speaks out in favour of the tubes, anyone with a new business model that makes use of the insane amounts of free traffic at your disposal. I only joined the industry in the autumn 2006, I didnt know what it was like before that, but I feel you are hurting inside.
I am the complete opposite, and a lot of companies are too, If I find my content on a tube that I do not upload to myself, and the videos have lots of views, I actually get excited as I know those users like my content. I instantly create a CPP account and reach out to the tube, to offer them access to my tube library of over 1,200 10min+ HD clips. Some tubes even let me simply place a affiliate banner under the infringing clips so not to lose all the fans, and data/statistics that the origional files would have. Of course, any full scenes or tube clips that have an overriding watermark or pre/post roll 3rd party adverts, those are removed as soon as I supply the infringing links on a simple email, or have xtakedowns.com issue the DMCA, what ever is easier to the tube.

No I'm just the type of guy who calls bullshit when I see it. You speak of "the same business model from 6-10 years ago" and I notice six years ago is 2007. That coincides almost exactly with the rise of piracy by tubes. What destroyed that business model wasn't technology or marketing genius. It was piracy and theft. And the business model isn't destroyed it's just on the severe decline because of industry idiocy.
You have a point about trying to work with the tubes to keep content up which still has a chance of getting a sale versus pirated full scenes. I'll give you that. But this belief that you will convert one paysite sale for every 5,000 video views on a tube loaded with full scenes by giving away 1,200 10min+ HD clips is ridiculous. You can come up with all the evidence you like but to me it's like someone pulling out an alleged photo of a pink elephant and then telling me I'm ignorant because I don't believe pink elephants are real. My common sense and experience overrides your "evidence". It's not as you present it to be.
