Everyone started a TGP, everyone started an MGP, every started submitting galleries, everyone started a blog, a few started tubes, the rest complained. Content owners are jumping on to the tubes, so those who don't go out of business and wont be stopped by morals or funding, will create tubes. and we are back on track with over saturation of the current model.
Perhaps the train wont stop until the members areas are wide open and full of ads.

I think the sky is the limit. I was considering something new called "The User Uploaded Siterip Blog". It would work just like the tubes as far as using the DMCA to avoid prosecution or being sued. A user would be able to provide a url to a file locker which is supposed to contain a siterip for a paysite's members area. They might also provide a preview or two as well which could be hosted on the siterip blog. Siterips would be automatically posted and there would be a rating system to handle spam or fakes. Since the owner never has to filter the siterips which users upload they could be protected under the DMCA just like PornHub is. Also you wouldn't actually be hosting the material itself. As owner you can skim off a certain percentage of clicks to download the siterips and also have popunders. You could also fill your siterip blog with ads for dick pills, dating and cams to make some money from that too.
Another option for former affiliates who want to stick to the tube model is the pay tube locker using stolen (er, I mean user uploaded) content. You allow two views per day for free. Require them to register for up to ten views a week. Then after that they have to upgrade to premium. For example what this tube does femdom-fetish-tube.com. This is a far better deal for affiliates. Why only get 50% or actually more like 20% due to all the shaving and underhanded tactics when you get 100% minus processing? Hell you have it even better than the sponsors themselves since they would be the losers who actually paid to produce the content, not you. So you get all the profit with none of the costs! You could also code a processor to automatically look for watermarks or urls on the videos and have them automatically overwritten with your own. This way people will spread your url around and those losers who own the paysite who paid to produce the content will not get any type-ins from it.
It seems once piracy becomes accepted and a former affiliate abandons their morals they could make a fortune. Maybe more than they ever made in the past from adult. At least until everyone does it and it becomes saturated. I kind of feel sorry for the sponsors though. It would probably mean flipping burgers because who is going to join your paysite when the first 50 pages of Google are filled with tubes with every scene and user uploaded "Siterip blogs" who have ten different links to your members area which are updated twice a month by indian uploaders who want to collect $1 per 10,000 downloads from the file lockers?
