I'm referring to the tubes that were padding their sites with stolen content for years and are now trying to partner up with the same sponsors who have been sending them many DMCA's over the years. I've received many of these offers over the past few months so something is up and the "Fuck you, I'll just take your content and sell ads" approach must not be working out as well as it use to.

The part that cracks me up the most are the replies from the tube owners that there's no way they can possibly moderate all the daily uploads. Oddly enough you never see anything other than adult content on their sites which would be impressive for a site that's on auto-pilot. How many adult videos do you see on youtube?

So now they are forced to either close or figure out a way to profit off content sponsors.
