I don't care if they produce their own contents and give it away for free, because the exclusiveness of some video will still be out their for those who want it. Beside who to think tube site are willing to create and give a way their contents. Last time I check Braz stuff not on PH and the like. If your theory is true, Brazzer should be posting their shit on their own tube for free.
Yes, but the portion of the market that really want BabeA is much smaller than the general marketplace... And those that have BabeA to market will have to go to tubes to get exposure for her.. But she'll just be lost among all the other videos out there.

Besides, how long has it been since there's been a BabeA? Even that type of site/special girl is disappearing from the market.

Yes, there will always be a market for BabeA, fetishes etc., but those are much smaller. It used to be that BabeA type sites could be huge. But then that market got flooded with solo girls and now there's so many that it's no longer what it used to be either. But it will happen again. As sites close a vacuum will be created and the time will come again when there can be some big solo girls.

The porn biz is consolidating and shrinking. All markets go thru this. The game industry used to be filled with little companies until the big ones like EA came in, bought them up and killed them off. Now it's predominately filled with the big companies and it's extremely hard for a little company to get into that market. Not just because it's so expensive to produce a game, but mostly because the distribution chain is dominated by the big boys. In the porn biz, the distribution chain is becoming the tubes.

Everything has changed with the proliferation of tube sites and social media sites. More importantly, it changed when the people with the traffic realized they could sell that traffic instead of trying to sell to their surfers. Once that happened, the entire business predominately became about traffic. About giving more and more away for free to get more traffic which you could then sell. And all the sponsors stepped up to the plate to provide that content so that they would get branding and sales from that traffic because they had no control over it. Now sponsors eg brazzers have control of their own traffic and more and more are doing that because that's how they'll control their own destiny. Tubes are not what started all this. The selling of gallery spots, banner spots, free hosted galleries. That's where this all began. Tubes are just the natural progression from that and what the internet has become.

Who's to say brazzers isn't posting "their" stuff on the sites for free? They're clearly not going to post the more expensive content, they'll post short clips of those. I haven't looked at the sites but I wouldn't be surprised to see old 3 year old full videos there though. And since they need full length "filler", they can get that shot really cheap all over the world. That would be the natural progression once they can no longer license any more full length DVDs. But since ppl are hurting for revenue and are willing to license their entire libraries cheap, that will be some time from now.
