Most customers love variety.
The advertising revenues would have to be substantial to cover the loss of sign ups. Now I know that all of you might say "yes but these are extra customers you would not have gotten any other way" but that's an old argument. Todays porn surfers know all about tube sites, illegal download forums, etc.
Just my two cents. You all might get rich and prove me wrong.

I can answer this...
It would be money you were previously not making before. If you submit to tubes and still haven't reached a worthwhile conversion ratio from the banners to your site, then watching your video get one million impressions or whatever won't be so disconcerting because you actually will be getting paid for people that looked at your scene but didn't go on to buy a membership.
We have dialed in conversions and know that getting paying customers from tubes is possible, regardless of it being free. So, the idea that we could make $$$ everytime a person watched a clip is icing on the cake.
