If I had to guess, when you start getting to the #20, if you could even get that high, there's not much left after that. maybe you could get above that # if you take the affiliates submitting from the handful of quality producers left which falsely compounds the # of good content producers. You'd be really hard pressed to get above 50 everything included. I've been doing this since 1998 and I don't think right now I could come up with more than 20 if I spat out all the major companies on the web + DVD producers left that shoot consistently. Is Pimproll still shooting content?

The tubes have successfully cannibalized a TON of content producers to the point where there is only a handful left. The amount of new content being shot is at all time lows, does anyone really dispute this? But the one reason people want to come to the tubes is content. It's a catch 22. This is something that tubes should think about in their treatment of content partners, which is really the entire concept of the OP's post.

Let's not forget the majority of tubes now CHARGE for HD versions of promo content. So they are getting paid for ads, and HD versions of your video with cumshot. And what do you get? Is their an affiliate program for content producers when someone clicks on one of your promo videos and decides to become a member of the tube because of your content? No
