An entire system, built on laziness.

Bullshit...
Not because there is more to running a successful M/TGP than simply loading a database with galleries, nor because it takes a lot more time than you apparently imagine to use FHG's productively. Both those are true, but the main thing is what poor FHG's say about the sponsors who produce them.
FHG's are a solid marketing tool. Instead of relying on individual webmasters to make and submit galleries that sell their sites, sponsors have something which appeals directly to the M/TGP owners (because they and not submitters earn from them). Most sponsors already have plenty of content. Gallery designs and bandwidth are cheap. Building the galleries can be time consuming (if the thumbs are made right), but needs only cheap labor.
I doubt if some of the rubbish out there came in much cheaper than the good galleries, so what does it say about the professionalism of a sponsor who puts out any old crap just so he can be on the FHG bandwagon? Do you imagine that FHG's are the only part of their business they handle so sloppily?
