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.

It was just an example of how Branding can present a negative image.
Ad sales supporting porn tubes has damaged pre recorded porn. I wonder if the Tube business can survive in it's present form, time will tell.
For businesses reliant on sites that survive via ad sales, which is a huge chunk of business. If it harms their profit margins, ads disappear. People will need to adapt. Thinking about ways to get around ad blockers is pointless, the ad blockers will up their game.
If ad blockers become a factor that effects the profit margins, people will need to change their game. Maybe a text link like Adwords, maybe blogs will rise again, it's all part of evolving and staying ahead of the game.
Barry will advertise where the traffic is, in a form that can't be blocked.
Being in business means constantly evolving and adapting. Trying to block ad blockers, is a retro step.
