How To Destroy The Tube Site Model

Clearly you're upset that your content is being stolen by scumbags, but going around and ruining legitimate webmasters businesses because of a few bad apples is detrimental to fixing any problems, and it's just gonna blow up in your face.

Judging by the looks of your sites, and traffic rankings, you don't have any affiliates, or at least any that send traffic.... Otherwise your site would have an alexa rank lower than 2.5 million... Shit even a site I have that gets literally a handful of visitors a day, is more than cutting your rank in half...

You have no clue what goes into running any websites as an affiliate, you spam your "content" on GFY for the surfers of the board to visit and hopefully sign up.... I assume that the bulk of your revenue is based on selling your "content" to small time companies at a low rate... You've never dealt with an affiliate who supplements his traffic that doesn't convert by pulling out a credit card and buying a membership, by using advertising networks that pay via CPM, CPC, or CPA....

So until you have something to show that actually makes a difference or matters in this argument, how about you shut your trap, and let the people who do know what's going on and how to handle things talk.

How is using ad blockers stealing?

That is like saying skipping commercials on your DVR is stealing.

First question, yes.

Second question, go to a different night club, yes.

Third question, no.

The tubes are not the problem. Stolen content is the problem and there are indeed ways to to deal with those sites outside of fruitless DMCA complaints that for the most part don't get anyone's attention.

So your answer is no then - you do NOT produce any content whatsoever.

That's what I assumed to begin with.

Lame-oooooo!

My 2 cents is tubes are a problem because they are safe harbors for so much of that stolen content.

All the problems always come back to having let the punters in to the industry. If they do not produce, fuck or know somoneone that wants to get fucked.... Perhaps they are not a punter but they are also not worth effort of arguing with.

Let you in on a secret;
A major part of any business is working with people or entities that share common interests or goals. Keeping this in your mind, you should know that there has always been relationships of one sort or another between police, churches, gouvernements and even also... the porn industry.

Therefore it would appear to me that perhaps the American Family Association shares many common interests and goals with today's porn producer.

now this cracked me up

An angry tube...

Adblock is terrible and this is a terrible idea.
You are stealing bandwidth by using adblock.

Either way good luck getting the millions of users that use pornhub to use adblock. A single user isn't going to make a difference. And if it did they'd install adblock protection.


I actually just installed and adblock redirection script. It redirects users with adblock to a page that shows my hosting bill and the page has a "purchase premium to remove ads" button.

I think this could actually boost sales for me. It'll show people running the website is not cheap and they'll consider purchasing premium. If not I don't need users blocking ads on my website. All they'd be doing is getting free content and taking my bandwidth and server resources.

Adapt or change your model. People with ad blockers are not stealing. They also didn't approve of the pop under on their PC. But shit happens. Technology happens. The value of things change.

I used to pay $20 fora CD for 2 good songs. Looking back that was total bullshit. The music industry was stealing from me. But I agreed to it. Shit is better now for the consumer.

Music has changed and so will TV because of DVRs.

I thought of an easy way to fix people not seeing ads. It took me two seconds to think of it.

Instead of a commerial during Conan. Conan will need to do the ad himself right in the middle of his show when u least expect it.

"Ha ha that was funny Andy, now let me show you Bounty the quicker picker upper"

Just like they do in podcasts.

That used to be pretty common on TV, here's one of my favorite examples of it:
