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. |
wanking for free, that's the whole point I mean you can't make more money offering to someone more free content (as we already disputed on "the other" board)
actually, I am concerned that the biggest stolen content tube sites don't make a 1 / 100 of profit compared with the biggest sponsors but generate say 100 000 potential sign ups / day loss plus the worst thing is that once the surfer ever find out the free sex he will always come back (well if you wank for 20 minutes you will remember the site name)..
Also, millions of new internet users are taught it's ok to find anything stolen for free and will hardly even bother to search for other stuff...
It's like you can choose between two hookers - one costs 600 bucks / number and looks super cool / the other one ain't that flashy not exactly your type but still bangable and you can fuck her as often as you want for free, what will you choose?
The only way - accept tube sites as it's a more interactive way of promotion BUT find a way how to keep it legal and sane, actually if anyone wants to stop beating around the bush all the time and do something concrete against copyright infridgement I am in
