The top tube has what, 14 million viewers per day? The Hun had I think 2 million in it's prime. Those viewers have money, they just aren't paying for what you want to sell them. If it hasn't already been figured out it will be, 100% fact.



It doesn't matter what you think about tubes though. They will operate by skirting the law for as long as they can then adapt when they can't. Well, judging by how people on here think a few will adapt and the rest will wither into nothing. Free / ultra cheap porn is not going away, ever.
Yeah, free porn will always be around in one form or another but the more free stuff that is out there, the less the traffic is worth for everyone. I only see it continue to decrease. The tubes aren't cheap to run and while I'm sure they make a good profit, how can they possibly continue to increase traffic (there is only so much of it) increase the amount of free content (the more free stuff that is out there, less people will buy) and increase the value of the traffic. They can't. I don't see it anyways. I predict most selling out down the road. To who, I don't know. Youtube was sold for a mint and supposidly doesn't make google any profit. Go figure.
