Basically the same as an fortune 500 company. Didn't Walmart earn like 5 billion net last year on 250 billion gross. That's like 2% profit margin.
I agree that tube sites should only have licenses approved content not stolen rip offs. I completely agree that tube sites are killing the current business model and pushing regualar affiliates out. The proliferation of these sites does dilute the value of a porn membership to certain degree and does make porn membership more difficult to sell.
But this is just the evolution of this biz and I seriously doubt anything can be done about it.
The evolution is that affiliates are being pushed out and the affiliate companies are getting traffic direct through the various methods u've mentioned. The studios/affiliate programs are going to just submit there clips direct to these types of sites and there will no room for a regular affilaite.
I don't think anything can be done about this anymore other than just keep tube sites legit with licensed content. But they aren't going away and the strong will survice....those that can handle the 6% profit margin.
Regular affilates may one day need to purchase exclusive video so that they can submit them with there own watermark to tube sites.
Shitty reality...but it's reality.
