They didnt have FULL movies like xvideos or redtube.
Bingo! Why would surfers want to watch teaser clips when they can get full-length videos on other tubes. The illegal tube model will eventually fail because it's based on theft which is never a good long-term business model.
The sponsor/affiliate model works and should never have been fucked with. Tube owners are starting to realize this and trying to rebuild burned bridges.

Couldn't agree more

An example of Tubes trying to rebuild burned bridges?
Yes.
You mean Content Partner Programs where content owners after years of using unlicensed content are allowed to put a banner and/or link next to their videos which made the tubes successful? Or what do you call rebuild burned bridges?
Yes.

I'm referring to the tubes that were padding their sites with stolen content for years and are now trying to partner up with the same sponsors who have been sending them many DMCA's over the years. I've received many of these offers over the past few months so something is up and the "Fuck you, I'll just take your content and sell ads" approach must not be working out as well as it use to.
The part that cracks me up the most are the replies from the tube owners that there's no way they can possibly moderate all the daily uploads. Oddly enough you never see anything other than adult content on their sites which would be impressive for a site that's on auto-pilot. How many adult videos do you see on youtube?
So now they are forced to either close or figure out a way to profit off content sponsors.

Probably this is because some sponsors partnered with those tubes.

I agree with you. Redtube for example has lots of stolen content, full videos of NA and others, uploaded by anonymous or some user accounts with hundres full videos. Their comment is simply: We can't review everything that is uploaded by our users.
On the other hand, a simple webmaster is not allowed to upload licensed content with a watermark to his own free sites (unless you have an affiliate program via CPP). Comment: We are reviewing submissions regularly and will delete such videos in short time.

Yes, that's what I mean. But I wouldn't call it rebuilding burned bridges which implies that they are doing it cause they find it fair to act this way.
I'd call it "Our site makes so much money that we can't risk a lawsuit or getting the site shut down
But sure, it depends on the individual point of view.
There are no shortcuts to success. Those who spend more time looking for shortcuts rather than good old fashion hard work will eventually find their efforts cut short.
