This will continue and become a watershed problem in just a year or tow.
Of course, since a tube site's "focus" is monetization in ways that do not help content producers (and said producers not getting a cut of that revenue) we, the Program Owners, are left with trying to find creative ways to monetize the actual content that is monetizing the tubes. LOL
As with most things, trying to "force" a tube site (or any company) to do what's best for you and not them is tricky (and near impossible). So you have to give the tubes an incentive for change because right now they don't really care about Content Partners in terms of overall revenue. It's been stated many times that affiliate sales from CPP's is 4th or 5th on the list of how tubes monetize their traffic. Withholding content in a protest or blockade kind of way will not work. Instead let's try and figure out a way that tubes can make EVEN MORE MONEY with their Content Partners. If that 4th or 5th revenue stream becomes the 2nd or 3rd revenue stream then tubes will want to work even closer with Content Partners. Or that's the theory anyway. LOL

The point is similar to the reply above this. Tube sites need content. If there's less content being produced, that's bad for a tube long term, it makes their own offering weak. They may not see the interests as totally aligned, it's because they haven't thought about it...
Imagine a world where half the content being shot today is now the total pool of "new content". Imagine this in 3 years, or 5 years, or 10 years. If you're a large tube, you probably plan on being in business in 5 years so apply the current trajectory. How good is any tube going to really be when youre looking at content from 10-15 years before? Now imagine a world where content production is double or triple what it currently is over that same time period. Imagine how much better those tube sites will be.
That's really the point I am trying to make. In other businesses, they give the content away to sell the live performance. In mainstream they also have merchandise. In our business we have live cam shows, but thats not really connected the same way it is for other industries. If the tubes keep feeding the live cam sites to the point that theres no new (Cams are tubes biggest revenue streams), and the good content to keep people entertained at the tube sites is reduced over time, then eventually the cam sites may become more powerful than the actual tube sites themselves.
