Imagine if you will a company that gets paid for information, demographics data, media trends, user trends etc etc. and not so much for banners... and imagine if that same company can see those trends from a thousand miles away and also knows the right people who will buy that information?

You have to think a bit more three dimensional... They are profitable because they sell information and are in the know. Remember that they were data miners before they were owners of a "tube site".

You think they didn't map the net and think about the bigger picture before they purchase a business. They see what people want and where they're going before even the owner of the site knows how popular his site is... that type of information is worth a lot.

I don't consider youtube and the porn tubes revenue streams even remotely similar in nature.
