Tube sites, maybe more than any other site, are really a numbers game. You have to have a lot of traffic to them because most of it is garbage and won't convert. So if you can afford to buy a bunch of content and you know how to get traffic by the truck load you might be able to make some cash.

Personally I think any business that is built around the idea of giving away everything in hopes that a few people will buy something a little different (dating and cams) is an idea that will eventually stagnate. You could make a tube that only has short clips on it, but then you better be really good at getting traffic because you are going to have to compete with the guys that give away 30+ minute long clips.

Can you make money? Sure. The question is how much and how much effort will you have to put into it and then what if you can't convert the dating and cam sites. It is going to be very difficult to sell regular paysite membership.
