Well some of them actually are user submitted/generated, at least partially. Xhamster for example - they do have real user profiles, those users interact with each other, post and discuss videos, have videos in their profiles that are obviously stolen from very different sources (which is not typical for the in-house "uploaders") and usually on top of it they have videos of themselves masturbating or wearing satin panties or eating their own cum or doing some other sick shit. It is impossible to fake that.
They do have several profiles that are obviously fake - like 1000 videos stolen from just 2 or 3 companies (average real poster will randomly steal from many companies), zero comments on other posters' videos, no avatar, no profile info such as interests, no video of an uploader sucking his own dick etc. But those are old profiles, they used them to fill their tube when they started - new stuff is posted by those who seem to be "legit" youtube style uploaders. I do not check all profiles of all users uploading new videos there as I have better things to do, but I do sometimes check them and those profiles I check do seem real to me.
Not saying that I believe in all that hiding behind DMCA "safe harbor" bullshit, or that none of the major tubes upload videos themselves. I'm just adding my observation that tube owners are not always stealing from us alone, in many instances their users do actively help them.
