That is because the affiliate industry eggs were all in the TGP basket for so many years. And well, we all know what happened with that.
There hasn't been any TGP innovation in literally an entire decade because the TGP industry paralyzed itself with submit rules so strict that evolution was not allowed to take place.
If a submitter wanted to try something new, he damn well sure wasn't going to get accepted anywhere (cheater! cheater! you are blacklisted!) And if a TGP owner wanted to go down a different path, submitters were not going to fashion galleries just for that one TGP.
So everyone stuck to the same shitty process for 10+ years. Galleries that contained 12-15 photos, from the same set, pushing one sponsor, strict limits on the type and number of ads, no javascript or Flash and a link trade at the top.
It was 2005, 2006, 2007 and the TGP's were forcing each other to work like it was still 1999. Now TGP's are pretty much irrelevant and clinging to the traffic that hasn't been exposed to tubes yet.
After what should have been a decade of evolution, TGP's should still be at the top. Webmasters at all levels should still be able to make decent money though them. But no, the "TGP mafia" didn't want to change anything since it might jeopardize their positions at the top of SexTracker.
