The above mentioned reasons are a big part of it but I believe (unproven and unproveable so no names) some of these tubes - shock! - payoff Google for their results. I'm talking $xxx,xxx+.
Shocking, I know. :D

The ability to pay the cost of the ads is because of the affiliate method of driving traffic, which previous to Tubes was the top way for most, it was expensive and included in the price of a sale.
So, for instance, Dating sites charge $30 a month. $10 of which goes towards traffic costs because affiliates want 50%+. And the other costs. Now Dating sites can spend $10 of every join on advertising.
If the cost of traffic was 10%, because affiliates only got 10% and weren't given the support they do now. Then the price would of fallen. Maybe to $20 and they wouldn't have the budget to spend on advertising on Tubes.
Same goes for all of the free content online. It's their mostly because the industry spends so much putting it there. Now it's become a huge barrier to getting sign ups and everyones moaning. Now the SE guys are having their turn.
The same principle goes for TGPs in a less harmful way, still the same. They had masses of traffic. The vast majority of which never had to buy porn. Why were there so many with so much free porn on? The budget for traffic was able to pay the bills.
The biggest problem became not getting traffic, but getting enough traffic to get a sign up. People just were not buying in the numbers they would of. It worked until Tubes soaked up so much traffic that wouldn't buy, then the flaws were easy to see.
Now we have this big barrier where 1 site supposedly gets 20 million surfers a day. Multiply that by 10, add the medium and smaller Tubes and the numbers not paying for porn are astounding.
The problem for all the flamers is few of them would survive on 10% and having to provide everything for themselves.
And their definition of what is good. I see 1-500 visitors to a site buying as an immense failure. They see it as success. Yes they think 499 saying no is a success.
Even 1-100 is 99 saying no. Nothing to be shouting about.

Spot on right for a change. You wouldn't be better off, you would be gone.
