Good questions...
We don't offer many clips that length, but truthfully it is not because it is something we have a problem with. In my mind, anyone can jack off in three minutes just as easily as 20 especially if it is for free.

They say they are counting impressions and I have no reason to distrust them. It is in their interest to get as many views as possible and bookmarkers so I have no reason to disbelieve them on this. If I get proved wrong then so be it... but I have never seen those guys called out on any sort of shaving issue. That is saying a lot in this biz.

We have enough content to work with that we never are truly diluting our brand, only enhancing it. I am a lifelong Deadhead and they let people tape and trade their shows freely (I infact was a taper...) and that only enhanced their brand plus gave them revenue well after they stopped performing as "the Grateful Dead". I understand how free pays. I get how you need to give more than just pix and vids to get people to pay happily.
Affiliates can take advantage of our content and do the same thing we are doing to get a taste of that sweet Homegrown pie. We are in a very unique position because we have more content than most so we have no trouble supporting affiliates with unique content.
