Tube gets to monetize 485,000 people in multiple ways while the paysite gets to monetize 15,000 people in one way only (signups).
Who wins in this scenario? The Tube, of course.
So unless you get either the visitors or the revenue closer to 50% most paysites will view tubes as just another affiliate. And, as most Program Owners now know, we are already seeing diminishing returns with the tubes. I am sure the tubes themselves are seeing a decline in traffic and revenue. So time to partner up as equally as possible.

Let's be honest, in the 5 years since I've sold paysites haven't changed. Do you think that will work another 5 years? No way. Building a tube to accommodate paysites would be a mistake. Paysites are going to have to evolve and become something completely different. The clock is ticking on the current business model.
