I don't understand this one. In the embed code it's obvious where the true source of the video is so why do people think this is good strategy for Google? Everything from Google for the last two years has been about original content. And for years before that they have been declaring war on "thin affiliate sites".

The way I see it even if you downloaded the content from the embed and self hosted it, Google can probably tell in many cases that it is the same video which was up at Youporn for the last three years.

Am I missing something? Does this still work? I know some scraper tubes have had some success but I always thought it was for other reasons such as extreme backlink profiles or that they weren't as much concerned about Google traffic in the first place.
