MGPs and TGPs do not provide full length clips, nor do they hide the watermarks of the clips they offer. In fact their real purpose is to redirect traffic to the pay sites, and ultimately increase membership sales.

Tube sites do not redirect to membership sites, and since most offer very lengthy clips surfers just stay there, wack off, and call it a day. They do not bother to then go to a pay site afterwards. That doesn't even make sense. Why buy the cow when the milk is free?

Some people will argue that MGPs and TGPs are free porn, but most will agree that they are traffic builders for pay sites more than they are free porn sites, very unlike the tubes (legal content or otherwise).

Some people will state that you can find free porn via file-sharing sites, password-sharing forums, etc. and although that is also true, those methods take time, and a bit of research, etc. These new tube sites take all of the effort out of locating free porn, therefore simplifying, and greatly expanding the availability of free porn, therefore cutting into the revenue of porn-for-pay.

It is really quite clear. If you want to make money in the adult biz you have to see the harm the tube sites present. No surprises. Tube sites absolutely do more harm than good.

Ask yourself this question: How do the tube sites HELP the adult industry?

If you can't answer that, then guess what?....
