As conversions continue to fall TGPs are being forced to sell gallery spots to make the long money. Webmasters buying spots will soon see conversions drop so low that there is little profit after bandwidth+content+listings. But TGPs will continue to sell even more spots and getting listed for free will become next to impossible thus causing webmasters to quit posting.

After spot buyers give up on posting there will be no one posting to the TGPs and they will have to use sponsor hosted galleries.
With everybody and his mom using SPHs with low conversions and high bandwidth, sponsors will be forced to kill these galleries. Surfers will become bored with the available free content and traffic on TGPs will die down to the point where the TGP will basically die from lack of profit.

But no problem. Because then the paysites will make more conversions and a new partnership will emerge where sponsors become "content warehouses" where they give webmasters 100k pics and vids to build paysites and take 50%. We all then will be owners of dozens of paysites and once again become wealthy.
I think the opposite is true, TGP's are not being forced to sell spots. They are selling spots because people ARE making money from them. Why would you list a free gallery when there are people willing to pay hundreds of dollars to be listed in it's place? It's simple business. Surfers will never be bored with porn and especially not FREE PORN. I think you are hoping this will be the case but use your head. FREE PORN WILL ALWAYS ATTRACT VISITORS. I am a 5+ year webmaster and I even still look at TGP's.

Oh yeah I am making more sales from TGP's than I did 3 years ago. Just did over 500 last month
