As shown in some of your posts this is exactly what I am getting at. The complex various different issues of a 'tube site' threads.

Tube sites run as pay site.
Tube sites with stolen content run for traffic.
Tube sites run with licensed, legal content for traffic.
Tube sites run as social networks.
Tube sites with 30-60 second previews.
Tube sites with 5-20 minute scenes.

This does not even get into the RapidShare, MegaPorn, the forums, and all the horse shit gideongallery gets into.

Back to the O.P. and topic.

I am simply addressing the tube site technology, and the motivations for a surfer/consumer/members to pick the new delivery method over the circle jerks, the 50 scene pay sites that update once a week/month, the pre-checked cross sales, and hassle of trying to get refunds, or cancel memberships, as well as many many other things that has went on in the past decade of adult online.

It is a no brainer why old customers (not the freeloaders, which is another discussion in themselves) prefer the 'tube' as their preferred porn site.
