The Hun, World Sex, Snakes World, Pink World, etc would make TONS more money and not have to hassle with jackass cheaters if they closed off free submissions and made their sites STRICTLY pay to play.

I'm surprised no one enterprising webmaster has come up with a multi-site submitter pass (brokered by Cybercat for hundreds of bucks a pop) that a webmaster can use to these sites. Of course, niches are priced according to popularity and schedules are staggered to avoid redundancy.

The benefits:

Less asshole cheaters
Less jackasses who steal content
Less webmasters who are not really serious about commiting the time and effort necessary to this business
More income for established websites and smaller sites (of course the smaller you are the more you'd have to play the niche traffic = $ angle)


The drawback:

Can't think of any unless tgp owners fill up the slack with the same sponsor hosted galleries. With free hosted galleries popping up like mushrooms after a hard Seattle rain, there won't be much need to recycle non performing galleries

The best outcome:

TGPs/Link Lists/MGPs/ etc etc become showcases for targetted niche fresh content from sponsors and content providers.

Bottom line:

Close ranks, increase income, and raise the surfer's experience quality.
