why are tgps better than picposts?

I don't get this ... why theres 10 million tgps and like no picposts now ... why are picposts dead? I mean ... years ago itd make sense that text tgps would be better than picposts, since the tgp owners didnt have to deal with massive bandwidth bills and it was spread throughout all the submitters ... but now, its easy (look at thumb tgp popularity) to do that, and picposts seem easier to run: no fancy gallery layouts for the submitters, submitters dont have a bandwidth bill, once they submit, they never have to worry about their hosting going down or anything, they get commissions as long as the picpost keeps running their pics .... picpost owners have it easier because its a LOT harder to cheat a picpost than a tgp, since once the picpost owner has the pics, submitters cant fuck with them or anything, and because of the nature of a picppost being closer to a free site, the pic post owners get more return/bookmark traffic than tgps would, which is better than blind link cj tgp traffic by far ...
I'm wondering this because a while back I submitted 3 (not even good) pics to a picpost ... I was working on it as a php programmer for someone ... that picpost is one of my top referers for the tgp I submitted for now, so it kinda bugs me out as to why people don't like doing this ... it also makes me think tgps and picposts should work together, IE tgp owners submitting pics to picposts ...


So, what do you guys think? why are picposts dead?
