Furthermore, TGP owners would be able to sell almost any spot for (say) 200 dollars and yet it would be profitable for sponsors (not to mention TGP owners). So, how this (hypothetical) situation compares with your scenario? This is a win win situation, the one you're mentioning is just the way things are right now. Status quo, if you like

Yes, it's status quo. But it's still win-win.
The situation you describe is ideal, but unlikely anytime soon. And so we must accept the status quo.
Elli, it would depend on the percentage of skim. And a 100K TGP without skim is very rare these days with the exception of an elite few.
A TGP getting 100K hits a day without doing blind trades/skimming is a TGP that really knows what it's doing. It would take a hell of a lot of work to build a 100K TGP without blind trades and without purchasing bulk traffic. And a 100K TGP not skimming won't stay at 100K for long if it's only using sponsor hosted galleries.
