It is a ponzi scam.
Paying for advertising in the domain of anything free only creates a consumer base of people looking for more freebies. In the mid to long term business that depend on selling something have to continously increase their advertising dispenses to maintain the same level of sales.
But as in the case of General Moters and Facebook, most companies eventually see that their adverstising expenses continue to climb and their Return on Investement (R.O.I) continues to sink so they end up pulling the plug and taking their adverstising funds elsewhere.
I have an inside contact in one of these "super large" tube sites currently dominating the Internet. The advertiser turn over is unbelievably high. About the only companies that stick around are casino sites and sites doing similar as the tube site. In many cases the tube site will despite having a terminated contract with an advertiser keep running their ads as long as possible in order to continue the illusion so they can attract the new group of *suckers*.
And that's just on the 'legitimate surface' of things.
Add to this that Internet provides multiple and many many opportunites for money laundering. Porn tube sites are perfectly suited for this sort of activity. They manufacture nothing and require little or no outside services or interface with other companies and individuals. Therefore almost little or no trail to follow to verify the source of their income.
Putting aside the debate about if a tube site is engaged in money laundering or not. They are still benefiting from stolen copyrighted property. In the United States I believe it is the RICO act and in Canada it is the Proceeds of Crime Act that applies.
Eventually these guys all fall or get caught. All that is needed is for the wrong person that got his stuff stolen to walk into an FBI or RCMP office and start the fall.
With the USA's 2257 requirements I am surprised that no one has done that yet... I can go to any tube site and within 10 minutes pull up tons of pedo porn. Just one police raid for those documents and the entire tube industry as we know it will collapse.
