There are 2 x 2 different perspectives: Quality versus quantity. Traffic and content.
If everyone adapt to a specific technology, you will not change this matrix, but if you change the input (creating freeloaders), the outcome is worth less for all strategies.
So I do not think the "adaption" = oversaturating & more freeloaders, is the solution. Tubes can be used as the marketing tool, but it is much better if the sponsors limited the amount of affiliates. That way affiliates will also be forced to limit the amount of sponsors. Otherwise the same circle as the older TGPs, will repeat itself. But with even less value. In fact, some of my best sponsors are the ones who limit the amount of affiliates and restrict the amount, but with free choice of marketing content. And when I know they update often and see rebills, then I know the surfers are not ripped off.
