For some paysites and content there IS no 'cumshot' per se (massage sites, lesbian sites, softcore, tease, self-shot EXGF sites, BDSM, some fetish, etc). So yes, for those types of sites tubes are thankfully more flexible. But for "hardcore" sex scenes they INSIST on a pop shot. Why?

The thinking seems to be that surfers will buy something from the tube if there's a pop shot instead of clicking away to the paysite. Even though the tube makes affiliate money from the paysite they make MORE from ads, dating and cam signups, etc. BUT here's the real question:

Someone goes to a tube, jerks off, then.....sticks aroud to BUY something like a cam show? No, makes zero sense. Once they pop it's POOF and they're gone. The tube makes no money from these people and this must account for the overwhelming majority of their traffic. I understand selling ad impressions, time on site and ad sales but, given the behaviours of most surfers/tube visitors, it seems to me like not allowing cumshots would benefit everyone. No?
