a hosted gallery link dump is not a tgp. i wouldn't make a tgp but if i did i would use all the submitted galleries to build up backlinks, which result in good seo placement. something hosted galleries can't do. hosted galleries also usually have shitty descriptions writen by non english speaking people. they also have little to no text which means fuck all for search engine hits. on top of that unless each tgp has custom hosted galleries surfers are gonna see the same thing over and over and eventually stop going there.
as for paid submissions, it seems like its says that tgp owners can't make good enough money anymore with their front and catagory pages, with the 1000's upon 1000's of backlinks, first page google listing, etc and have to resort to selling partner accounts. either that or they're just greedy.
