Thats what killed tgp2 .. its just not sustainable because you constantly bleed traffic. A middle ground has to be gained. Most people are hypocritical when it comes to tubes. How can you push tgp when picposts convert better and give away less for free, and then in the same breath say tubes should give away tiny clips? There was a similar outcry about tgps when they first started to appear on the scene.
Its true that not many tubes make a profit, but the actual business side of running a tube and why I do run one is knowledge that we regard as private and gives us a competitive advantage. Same with how to turn a profit on the traffic ... there is no way in hell I would share that info that took us almost a year of losses to learn.

OK, I can understand if you are unwilling to share how the tube sites themselves make money ... but the question still remains how people submitting videos to the tubes make money by giving away that LONG of clips?
As for the tgp vs tube thing ... you should know I'm not hypocritical on that one! Five pics per "gallery" is all they get from me! LOL And if they wanna see the big pics, they have to look at more ads there as well
