I think adult precedes mainstream in what's going on there. "Content marketing", which is becoming more and more the norm in mainstream, is pretty much the same thing we're doing in adult: give shit away for free, in hopes of making a sale. In fact, I'd argue that mainstream has also had its pic posts, TGP's and now has tubes. Content marketing started with small info articles directly pitching some product. Then the articles kept getting longer and longer and nowadays you see the same long text being posted across a big variety of platforms. Social media sites, video sites, document sharing sites, you name it. So in a sense mainstream already has its own tubes, being used to drive traffic to specific offers.

I think the evolution will be to something more social, customizable and adaptable to the end user. Fuck if I know what it will be called.
Tube 2.0?
