This is an very interesting thread and concept.
As of late I have been increasingly contacted by tubes of all sizes to partner, partner, partner. This wasn't always the case, so clearly things are changing in the tube owners world. What things have changed?
I think
Many content producers, (and some of the best ones ironically) were forced out of business because of the dual pressures of content theft (tubes and torrents) and the economic downturn. Less quality content is being produced.
The library of old/ancient content that has been licensed by tube sites from companies that no longer produce new content is drying up quickly and sucks for the most part.
As high speed internet spreads consumption is rising.
Submissions by "real" people are either drying up or staying steady, however I would bet they aren't keeping up with the rising level of consumption.
In the beginning a lot of content was stolen by a lot of tube site owners. I won't say all of them, but many. This still is happening, but now there are ways to fight back.
All these things combined mean that the tube owners need to partner with content providers in a mutually beneficial way.
However what are they willing to do for that partnership?
I was approached by Dr. Tuber last week about submitting videos, I asked how many was optimal, they said as many as possible. I asked what the minimum was, they said 500 with daily updates. HAHAHAHA!
Yanks.com is good site, however we only have shoot 500 models over 10 years, with 2-3 videos per girl outside of her video interview and behind the scenes stuff. And we shoot 3-4 girls per week now. So they were asking for 30% -40% of my entire site with an update schedule beyond what I shoot now. Not workable. But my content is good and they need good content.
I think what Mister Peabody is suggesting is the start of the right conversation.
If tube sites want to become affiliates/partners how are they going to make this work?
How are they going to get quality niche content from quality sites without killing the golden goose?
How will they become a productive member of the adult ecosystem rather then a pollutant that will eventually poison it?
Innovation is needed.
Tube PPV would work, Why can't I upload 200 videos and have 10 free a day with the others $1 to watch? Why can't I advertise on tube sites under specific categories, niches or keywords in conjunction with my partner account?
Why can't I rotate my content out while leaving up the container page with the tags, categories title etc while giving the user a link to the next video in the player?
"Sorry folks this videos free period has expired, click here for the next free video from Yanks.com"
Google won't know the media has changed, will it?
Attention Tube sites, do the coding, innovate, become true partners and we will bring the content.
