You know what the difference is between you and I, Captain? You're willing to discuss the issue, whereas I would have posted, "fuck you then, don't submit to me."
I'm certain that you understand the view of the submitter, and realize that after years of dealing with an unchanging (pronounced: dying) model, it's shocking to not see free site listings displayed prominently on a link list. I doubt anyone questions why you'd want to integrate tube content on your site and take advantage of what surfers truly want. They all just wish that you could have perhaps created a separate tube area, or found a way to display the vids and the free site listings side-by-side, not that that is an easy task.
I've been tweaking my site as well, and adding all types of more visually stimulating content in hopes of pleasing my visitors and decreasing my horrific bounce rate. Let's face it, today's surfer is highly impatient. When they do a search and land on your page, they want to see sucky-fucky in front of them immediately, or they're hitting the back button and going to the next site. And Google knows if surfers like your pages even if you aren't using Analytics.
It's a horrible time to be a link list owner, which makes it a shitty time to be a submitter. If I was amongst the dying breed of submitters today, I'd expect to see a lot more drastic changes on link lists in the near future. More and more sites will get frustrated with ever-decreasing traffic from SEs, tire of being confined by the bullshit policies of other link list owners, as well as the demands of the submitter.
Viva la Revolucion!
Here's a crazy idea: It might be good for submitters to occasionally click on their own recip tables to see what they get at the other end.
