I would say you're better off stealing videos and uploading them to your own site.

From an SEO standpoint if you're aggregating videos, you're bleeding a lot of traffic off to the sites you're aggregating. Google has been going after affiliate-marketing focused sites, and an aggregator is just that--your goal is really to steal traffic from bigger tubes and sell it back to 'em. You're not providing much value over a tube, other than a view on multiple sites content, but most content is duplicated across the big tubes anyway.

Contrast that to hosting your own videos--people will stay on your site (their session won't include pornhub, etc), google won't see you sending tons of traffic to better sites than yours, and you can buy targeted traffic from aggregators which google will almost certainly like. If you're aggressive with popunders and ads you can even buy traffic at a profit, like tubecorporate. Aggregators really don't have that option.
