For big tubes it's all about selling that shit traffic to other people.

If it was truly good traffic they would simply sign up for affiliate programs and slap their link codes to the appropriate sites for each vid like we all did (and made great money) from the beginning of online adult.

But they don't. Instead they offer the actual sponsor to be THEIR bitch by becoming a "content partner". And then they proceed to spam the page that the vid is on all to hell with pre-paid ad spots (where the real money is for them).

That's why you have to have a HUGE traffic tube to make huge money. It has nothing to do with selling porn. It's all about selling ad space.

And these days...they are all emulating Google for their biz model. You basically don't ever get a real ad on Porn Hub for instance. You instead "bid" for placement. Then your ad gets whatever placement it receives via rank of it's "bid" per view.

It's total bullshit for the people buying the ads. But I guess these days, if you can throw shit on the wall enough it will stick.

And at this point some people don't give a fuck if it took 100 million ad views...as long as they are able to get maybe 100 signups out of it, it's worth it. At least compared to the ZERO they would get without that ad spot.
