It just makes sense even more so now than ever before to use some of it as an incentive for the entire aff base to step up its game. Not a carrot to dangle. It is a steak. It is a lobster. Damn, now I'm hungry.

I think the sort of traffic you are thinking, which is essentially the ultra filtered but still non-converting junk that won't wash into a sale is most likely going to sell through to a broker to generate some income or be used for a trade with a reciprocating affiliate... where and when I guess that sort of fits the bill of what you are suggesting.
Sort of a conundrum... the affiliate that gets too big starts his own sites and the program that gets too good at generating traffic starts losing affiliates.
But regardless, the issue of traffic is still going to be the biggest issue for a new tube.
I think the only way for Porn Nerd to even have a shot...
1. Microniche the content, but that requires having a solid understanding of the microniche and finding content for it can be tough, the plus side is he can more easily compete on purchasing traffic to jump start it.
2. Allow even the parts of tubes that he doesn't want to allow and even though that will add stress, work, and liability, user uploads are a necessary reality
3. Figure out how to enhance the user experience - and that has its own set of challenges depending on the software he goes with like mechbunny etc. but one of the biggest challenges is giving the site a personality/brand that people want to bookmark. Xhamster succeeds in this regard where others try hard but can't pull it off.
All of those actually represent steep challenging mountains to climb...
