Same shit, different wrapper.. Tube = TGP/MGP with a different file size and some different submission rules.. the cliche Adapt or Die applies for sure..
People get pissy over tubes, but they'd suck some cock to get some of the traffic the tubes have, just like they'd suck cock to goto a Elite TGP party to get some of that traffic back in the day..
Content theft happened all over the place on TGPs, link lists, etc.. people would save your content and throw it into a new gallery template or hotlink it causing your bandwidth bill to double, or any number of other scenarios.. same shit, different day.. only it seems like more people bitch about it today than they used to because it's the current excuse of money loss to cling to..
The thing missing from this business now compared to then imo is the hard work that people used to put in every single day when they'd build their own galleries,free sites, etc.. They'd wake up every single day to get their share of the traffic built up.. now people think that the sponsors should be doing all of the hard work for them.. no wonder they're being pushed out by sponsors only working b2b instead of b2p..
Content is no longer licensed like it was back in the day to make money with sponsors.. Now the only people licensing content are paysite owners, or people who want to be paysite owners.. or people doing tube license dvd deals..
Content producers make a shitload less than they used to because instead of 200 licenses they sell 20 licenses for content before it is spent and saturated all over the place because of the free hosted galleries that they'd have sold more licenses for to have those same webmasters using their content if they'd never allowed FHG licensing to become a standard
I remember having thousands and thousands of dollars in licensed content to be able to promote all of the sponsors I worked with and stand out among other gallery submitters.. it worked, I made a buttload of money in the shemale market from that..
Speaking of lightspeed... he at one time said "This industry is the only industry that likes to constantly shoot itself in the foot!" so fucking true...
fuck that was a long rant.. sorry..
