Bump this again in 7 years and prove me wrong.. but tubes are exactly what the consumer wants and I'm sure will always want.
Many people may have given up adult over TGP saturation, but I think tubes will kill business much more

The thing you have to remember is that when TGP's were started, pictures were 95% of all internet porn.
Bandwidth was prohibitively expensive and home internet connections weren't fast enough to really support video. So video was primarily consumed in the DVD and VHS market.
So what TGP's were giving away at the time, in relation to what paysites were charging for at the time....is pretty much the same as what tubes are giving away today, in relation to what paysites are charging for today.
Giving away 10 minutes of a movie today is the same as giving away 20 pictures from a gallery back then.
