This is exactly right. Before TGP's, nobody offered console free versions of their tours. Today, everyone does.
There are alot of other good examples of how TGP's drove the marketplace.

Content has *always* been the traffic source the problem is NOW it is actually taking traffic away from the source supplying the content and giving it to someone else.
Legit TGP,MGP,Tube sites are a great source of promotion and traffic generation nobody will argue with you on that.
It has just gotten to a point where it is becoming a problem.

TGP's could do whatever they wanted. All program owners care about is $$$. If you send sales, that's all they care about.
The only thing limiting the amount of free content in the past was the cost of bandwidth.
There was always someone out there trying to make 100 picture galleries or give away huge ass movie files....and they didn't make it, not because the sponsor banned them, but because they couldn't afford their bandwidth bill or got kicked off their free host.
You people act as if sponsors warmly embraced TGP's from the beginning and now these evil tubes have come along and fucked things up for everyone.
Not true.
TGP's were just as hated when they first started as tubes are today. The only real difference was that in hating the TGP's, you were hating the owner PLUS the 300 submitters of the galleries he listed each day.
Today you get to focus all that hate on one person, the tube owner, so people get that much more worked up about it.
