I've looked at porn for 15+ years and the tubes are all I need for a quick jerk off session. Even if you have something wonderful and niche someone will eventually come along and piss all over it by duplicating and tubing it.
I grew up in adult not knowing that I could so easily talk to other webmasters. I pushed webcams with non nude to nearly nude images and converted as good as if not better than anyone. I experimented a few times with nude images (bought a TGP, sumbitted) and the conversions were nowhere near as good. Not even close.
The entire purpose behind giving someone content is to tease them into signing up to see more. With tubes, there is nothing left to fucking see! At least with TGP's you could put videos in your members area and use images (even hardcore) to upsell moving pictures. Now you're trying to sell videos with free similar videos?
Someone will always make money with piles of traffic. Using porn vids to promote more intimate shit like webcams is a great idea, until you have saturated that site and the money dries up. Now you are stuck with a pile of videos making sweet fuck all. Of course there are a handful of exceptions, but most people can never hope to have anything close to that. The market leaders have established themselves at this point, how the fuck do you put up a tube better than the one with 400k videos already? 500k? 2 hour videos?
The saddest part of all is that the original tube sites started out doing this shit to steal all of the traffic and they still couldn't make much money. The owner of YouPorn was barely breaking even but ended up with an offer for x,xxx,xxx and sold out. He went from barely covering hosting to a million bucks on a shit business model so now everyone is on the bandwagon.
I wouldn't even find it so retarded if I had seen one tube utilize their position to feed visitors into another site and grow another property into something valuable. xvideos / xnxx is the only one I can think of off hand doing something even close to that and they are pretty much hated by webmasters in general. Yay, they are rich and have successfully cockblocked all but the most determined competitors.
Everybody wins?
