When the content on your site (tube) is not the content you are selling, this is a serious problem.
You said this-


The thing you are missing is that affiliates make the traffic on their own and they send it to programs to make money with their targeted traffic. (some of this is purchased traffic, although i personally have never bought traffic)
If you stop relying on affiliates to at least send you a fair percentage of sign ups, this is a huge mistake imo.

Of course I am fine with everyone getting deeper and deeper into the tube world because as i know now, the saturation levels are hitting and the only thing to do is to try to find ways of monetizing traffic which should have been paying off on selling the content on the tube in the first place.

This kind of ideology cannot last.

Unless.

Are there any big tubes right now that make the majority of their money with the content uploaded on the tube, as in selling the product which is the site's content?
