And if you think people are loading that many videos every day, you have another thing coming. Go look at the top uploaders and do the math. It doesn't make sense. Some of them would have to upload for 24 hours a day, every day, for months on end in order for the numbers to make sense. Look at the join dates. Point that out and they always say it's a system glitch that conveniently only happens on the biggest uploaders.

File lockers have not done anywhere close to the damage as tubes have, though they are indeed bad. See for yourself, go to google and type in any porn related keyword. Type in "porn" and see what comes up. Usually Manwin pirate properties are in the top few results.




No doubt they are a well oiled money making machine. But like I said, don't forget where most of that came from. Without their direct involvement in piracy, which in turn allowed them to have all the traffic, most of this would not be possible. And as they buy more tubes, it's not to clean up the internet or because they care about the industry. It's for the traffic. Period.
