Some sponsor may pull the plug; but it will because they are not converting and nothing
else. These tubes don't burn anymore bandwidth that a TGP full of their hosted galleries.
So if the sponsor can't let the tube leech then I don't see how they can afford hosted galleries either.
Hosted galleries might actually use more bandwidth since the gallery has
images that load but the tube just loads the specific video to watch.
Not to mention text links leading the same surfer to the same gallery to reload it
all over again on 10 different TGPs.
The issue with leeching will not be about the "numbers", because the numbers are way in
favor of leeching. It will be about "anti-leeching" as we have percieved it in the past. Youtube proved that letting other websites leech can be a big promotional boost for your website. Some people get it some people don't.
