Now you have the tubes. Giving the customer even MORE choice. No longer just looking at some pictures, or screen caps. Now they can actually watch part of a scene and see if it is the girls they want, doing the shit they want, at the angles they want to hit the spot and shoot their nut.
They can SEE the members area, and how often is it updated. They can SEE all the content you claim you have and if you are full of shit or not. The navigation is better than most pay sites. It is an all around better delivery system for the buyer, and provides them more value for their time and dollars.
The point is. Tube sites are not going anywhere.

Of course they should be given choices and not be ripped off. But just like TGPs giving out much content in the past, why is tubes with endless content the answer to that? If it is popular because it is free, then it is not the best criteria for sales.
What I learned from the past as affiliate, is that instead of TGPs; "give less - but give them the best". That worked very well for me, and still do. That is not a rip off or false marketing, if the paysite delivers and generate rebills. It is a good criteria for sales, because you give quality, and the quantity is found within the paysites.
Another additional approach is for programs to limit their number of affiliates. I am already in partnership with few programs practicing this; Instead of giving out content to every single selfproclaimed "affiliate", they should limit it to fewer affiliates that push their programs harder but with same total number of sales. That way affiliates makes more money (which is the motivation for more marketing and sales), the content is under control and less competition from the freebie culture.
Yes, tubes will not go anywhere, neither will TGPs. But I think the illegal ones will face harder times and there will come new ideas from those who do not just "adapt". I'm working on a great new project myself right now
