Some points among the many, that people tend to willfully ignore
1) Free content has ALWAYS been available in any quantity since there were nothing online but bbs systems
2) Free content has ALWAYS been the primary marketing tool which drives sales. Your same argument was being made in 1998 about image sets.
3) Content has always been pirated on a wide scale
4) Tube sites are MOSTLY sponsor videos, not full length videos
5) Tube content is NOT high quality
6) Paysite content IS high quality
7) Tube traffic converts quite well which is why it sells for a premium price
The fact is simple. Tube traffic converts quite well. That simple fact, makes all other arguments about "full length videos" irrelevant.
