Every other fucking site on the internet doesn't seem to have a problem.

Is it SOLEY based on the fact Youtube has "questionable" videos that Advertisers don't want to get associated with?

You can SOO easily target markets by using the video tags..

This shit is Marketing 101.
Yes it would be easy for them to advertise next to every video.
However, once they do, they lose the Viacom lawsuit. Simple as that.

Good info on this here, and here.

I highlighted the part that makes porn tubes profitable even though Google is having problems profiting off Youtube.
That's absurd and proves you have no real business knowledge.

See above for why Google can't profit.

As for the prepay, they used to say the same thing about TGP's. They only make profit off of their freeloaders because the spots are prepaid.
However, if advertisers don't get a ROI, they're not going to renew their ads, so at some point no ads would be sold and the site would go under.
Pretty basic math there.
Someone is making money off of those surfers. The adult companies that buy ads on tubes aren't charities.

I think most missed that part. I'm pretty sure most porn tube sites have ads on 100% of their pages.
Exactly

I would like to see some numbers on any sizable tube site that is actually making a profit. .
I'm sure you would. I doubt any would show them to you.
Except maybe one that's for sale, but only if you could prove that you can afford to buy it.

Tube site owners aren't running a charity either.

Even if the owners had deep pockets to begin with, at some point the site has to pay for itself or it goes under, just like any other business.
