It's another step on the road of pissing off the customers.
What you're not addressing is the possible upside. Ad blockers become so successful, Tubes are no longer profitable. Because webcams, penis pills and dating sites, can't subsidise them to get their 20,000,000 visitors a day. They will have advertise elsewhere. Or pay more for advertising.
We have become a tiny industry because of the emphasis on giving away porn in pursuit to place ads. Even a banner on an FHG is an "ad".
But they converted an average of 1-300 on clicks. And every time they gave away more porn to get more traffic. The ratio got worse every time.
A smart move would be sites giving them away for free. Think of the consequences.

ISIS doesn't brand muslims, it brands itself and very successfully. It has got big amount of recruits and money. Anyways, I am not in the target audience, you neither (I think). There are target audiences in branding, you know.
I don't know about this tube issue, I work in mainstream. Porn is just a sideshow for me. There are much bigger things in stake in here than some tubes. I don't even agree that the amount of free porn has increased because of the pursuit to place more ads. Tubes use free porn and they monetize it with whatever way that is most profitable. In this case it is probably ads. I don't know is this very good English translation, but tube is business model and ads monetizing (earning) model. The tube business model still exists without ads.
