I guess there's no way back anymore and soon tube sites will be the standard, while TGP's will be forgotten, like link lists nowadays...
megarotic = thehun of the tube world
youporn = worldsex etc
and now everyone tries to start their new ones so soon there will be literally hundreds of adult tube sites - some small, some big
one year from now and they will be also trading with each other and circklejerking visitors
sponsor companies start their own legal tube sites because they want to compete against the 'illegal' ones (the ones with stolen content like megarotic), instead of trying to fight them and stick to more traditional methods of advertising

Yes you are on to something my sexy polish friend.
People like IDIOT!! SleazyDream will be phased out in the next 1 - 2 years. Want to see something interesting ? Go to alexa and enter in 4 urls to compare traffic. Enter in:

Tubesites, torrent sites already have replaced TGPS. It will take only a couple more years for everyone else to catch on.
However, here is the problem for people who own membership sites that consist of just pictures and videos. They are going to be obsolete like the TGPS from this new evolution of sites (tubes and torrents). Also tube site owners are going to be hard pressed to make money from their tube sites. Some big differences between tubes and tgps:
1. Bandwidth: The tube site hosts all the videos and the videos are much longer, their bandwidth will go through the roof. TGPS, all they do is host links and push the bandwidth cost back to the submiters.
2. Monetizing traffic: TGPS make most of their money from selling link spots on their daily list, not from banners. Tubes make money from banner ads which cuts out a lot of the profit potential.
3. Type of content: TGPS showed pictures and 30 second vids. This was gret advertising for a picture and video site. However tubes on the other hand show a lot more of the video for free, in some cases they show entire full lenght videos, therefore very very (very) few people will signup to a pic and video membership site after they just got finished watching all of the full length videos from that site for free.
Those are major issues that the tube sites will face. For 1 they will be a terrible way to make sales for pic and video membership sites, infact the tube site will help bring to an end traditional pic and video membership sites. The tube sites are so limited on how they can make money, they will be left putting banners to dating and cams sites, thats about it. The high cost they will have from bandwidth might make their expenses more than their sales from banners to cams and dating. Unless they find some unique ways to monetize the traffic people will take shots with tubes but they wont be making a killing. There are also the issues of copyrighted content and illegal content if they allow people to upload videos.
