If I am just an average surfer and I go to this site, what motivation to I have to buy anything? I am getting a ton of free porn right here. Sure you can sell me dating and cam sites and I might be interested in those, but it is going to be very difficult to sell me a membership to a paysite.
I know people do join cam and dating sites from tubes and some may even sell a few memberships to paysites, but when you give away that amount of content you need a very large audience because most won't buy anything then the question becomes, "Are those that are buying stuff making me enough money to pay for/offset the cost of the 99.9% that are not?"

It's not only about the number of sales, it's about what the cost of those sales are and what's left over. Then there is the growth to consider or shrinkage. Will those coming to the Tube site for their free porn already have bought from the few sponsors prepared to advertise on them. Will some who did buy and got disappointed come back and rejoin? The answer is probably not good for the Tube site owner. A lot of his traffic will be retained, but not buying. They still need the free movie, but don't need to click on the links to buy dating and Cams, again.
Good post Kane, except 99.9% who don't buy. 1-1000 from a Tube site would I think be good.
