And most affiliates that do upload longer clips (except for MrPeabody) see higher views, higher ratings (if the content is good), meaning they are featured on the front page and featured areas, so they get a higher CTR, higher direct type in traffic and they keep all this revenue 100%.
I am positive that you never thought a tube made their biggest revenue from their CPP? We started the first ever CPP on YouPorn to give the content owners access to our substantial traffic. The revenues didnt make a differance to our lives, but I can guarantee that for a hell of a lot of the companies that joined the YouPorn CPP, we were their financial lifeline.
I cant wait for you to call bullshit on another one of my comments, but think about it, how could I have got to where I am today if i was not completely upfront and honest? Why do I help everybody/anybody that reaches out to me? Its the type of guy I am. And I dont think you would last very long in this business if all you spoke was complete bull. Its funny, the only place I ever get attacked is on GFY. This is an old school thread isnt it? One of the oldest in the "biz"? Go figure...

You started this thread to elude to killer sales for your new program. Most threads like that are started because they want affiliates to push traffic to said site.
You started the thread to generate more traffic to youporn and other tubes through your submitter using people's content, preferably 10+ minutes.
As you said, CPP doesn't make a dent in the overall profit margin. Except to the little guy you guys are really throwing a life line to. Wow, that's nice.
I have 9 vids, all over 5 minutes, youporn did I think 2 sales. 350K combined views. Other tubes, however, converted much better. That I really don't care about. I don't need your bible on tube submissions.
But, the problem is you need uploaders. Without massive updates each day the tube model won't *slide* the money from one end to the other. Buy/sell ads, dating.
If you get a ton of uploaders, the views/sales etc. won't be there. Saturation. It's a model that will not sustain.
