Tubes are a pretty good model and a great way for affiliates to promote many different sites and various niches. The problem is when certain tube owners decided to cut the content owners out of the equation thinking they could just eliminate what they thought was the "middle man".
It would have been a smarter, long-term plan for the tube owners to partner up with the producers rather than saying "fuck you". TGP's/MGP's worked well and should have evolved into tubes. I don't think tubes will go anywhere soon and the smart ones will start working with content producers rather against them.
File lockers are a completely different animal because their entire business model is based on theft and they can't survive by just promoting sites as affiliates.
