I always thought if you had done this from the beginning tubes could have been just like a souped up TGP, but they never would have gotten the amount of traffic they did without so much full length videos.
It seems to me (and I might be wrong) that Mandwin is mostly posting their licensed content for the full-length and let those who still want to see upload with a link, I think it's a step in the right direction.
If they carried their through all of their tubes, things might actually improve.
The only money I ever made with tubes was when I sold mine, so if they've figured it out, good one them.

This is the first link I see on Pornhub:
http://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=742838667
Looks EXACTLY like it always did.
And here is a sponsored vid from Penthouse:
http://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=857919786
One text link above the video...then the rest of the page spammed up so hard with pre-paid ad spots that it's a joke.
One of the FIRST things I learned in marketing is to focus. And if you're going to use some valuable real estate on a page to sell something else...don't make it look spammy.
Me and everyone I know that KNOWS how to make money on a freesite would look at that and see nothing but an amateurish page that is designed to do nothing but get views on an ad that is pre-paid.
Pornhub guys have NO idea how to market a paysite from that page.
