Honestly I don't see a problem with it, I think sponsors really just don't want their watermarks covered up or removed.

One vote for the scrape thing
Which kinda makes me smile --> In my book people used to complain about tubes 'scraping' their content, not big tubes complaining about the small tubes scraping them..
Honestly, this does not really makes sense: most of the uploaded content is not for content partner accounts. Or do they watermark all common user uploads and handle if that content belongs o to them exclusively?

This is not that important, youporn won't stick to it - however no one confirmed so far that this is mandatory. I still have a feeling no one really tried to say no to this watermarking, or tried to swap it for some other benefit, like bumping pps or revshare %.

Does the OP makes you think I have no idea? Actually no one mentioned any other aspects so far, neither pro or contra.
You are here for 12 years, so must be wiser than me, please share what I forgot about.

It's their rule if you want to upload as a partner. Of course as a partner you get faster approval and so on.
If you don't respect this rule then you can't upload as partner 
They've doing it for years .... |
If I get you well this is a vote for greed / little bit of extra money
- I know how this works and see it's benefit for the tube. But I still think this is absolutely NOT significant traffic, especially on a content partner channel where there are clickable links to the paysite.
- So if you don't let them have that tiny more traffic they don't let you upload your content and have all the special channel benefits, thus losing Way More money? Faster approval is the most minor thing in Content Partner Channel benefits in my book.

Is this any different?
We just pull the tubes affiliate code onto their subdomain.

This is Very Different.
Have you ever asked if it's a mandatory or had no problem with this ever?

I am surprised youporn even allows the programs to have their own watermarks on any of the content. In today's mentality they really don't own the content anyway. Programs have become torrent seeds and not much else.

More or less I take it as a vote for greed/bad mentality

A vote for tracking
If it's tracking I guess it's not mandatory, it should not be that important. But who knows, maybe some program owners are even happy about extra tracking?
Looking forward to hearing more, especially from Site/Program/Content owners.
