In part due to advertisers who wrongly think they will make money by put their banners on tubes (via exoclicks or so) even if they will not, still they buy until figure - there's always a new genius who will buy their first adverts in a tube site when another one ended funds in loss.

Face book is pure shit.
There is absolutely nothing that Facebook has that is new, different or even remotely origional. Everything from instant messengers to entire the entire concept of viritual friends... Literally it was/is all available on the net in various other forms. All Facebook is.. is the Walmart of the Interent. (ie: one stop.. find it all here surfing)
Facebook benefited from an abnormally exorbitant amount of media hype. And the owner lies like a snake about its numbers. If you own preferred stock in facebook you can get better access to the data about the site and see the absolute masterpiece of double talk the company publishes when confronted with questions about its revenus, user base, etc.
For example :
How many accounts are abanonded? (2 paragraphs that stop short of saying they are not keeping track)
Their primary revenu is also not from advertising and never has been. There is a lot of undisclosed sources that appear to point to a multitude of private contracts. In my opinion facebook's revenu is generated from the sale of personal data, data mining technologies and its stock.
But back to content debate,
Facebook's acquisitions of Instagram, snapchat, etc are nothing more than a fight for content. The average facebook memeber abanadons their account after 6 weeks and produces lilttle or no content except the reposting of the stupid photos and comments you find all over the net. In fact when you talk to any brooker that specializes in technology investements they will tell you that when dig below the surface of Facebook... It generates less usuable content than Myspace did with all the Independant Music Bands.
As more and more people abandon their computers for ease and practicality of portable devices. More and more pure shit will be uploaded to the tubes and it will just start getting to the point where more and more people will say "why bother searching?"
From a porn industry point of view when the majority of people access the net using mobil gadgets the average surfer will eventually be the punter that just wants to jerk off in under 5 minutes and go on with his day.
And that type of guy has never been our target market. He will never pay and there is no chance of selling him anything regardless of how good or original we make a video.
