Do we, as an adult webmaster community, oppose supporting adult versions of YouTube?

Those are all the same business model.

I'd bet that most surfers don't know the difference between a free site or a gallery or a link list or a tgp or a mgp - they just know where to go to find links to porn.

Tube sites are a completely different business model that teaches the surfer that when they see a tube site, they can get a shitload of movies for free.

If you wanted to open one up & attach an affiliate program to it, go nuts. I would not promote it, but I understand why you'd want to do it.

Useless's post is probably how most (currently 75% of us) feel right now.

Out of the 7 YES votes, 5 are people affiliated with paysites/programs - that's fine by me - I'm not gonna help you get a tube site off the ground, but I'm not bashing anyone for exploring different ways to generate revenue (just like I would not bash a program for taking an ad out in a magazine)

I voted yes, and it has nothing to do with having paysites of my own. I feel much the same way as Tommy posted. If I support free porn whatsoever, I'd be a hypocrite to come down on newer free porn enterprises that don't necessarily fit my business model. I have trouble with the concept of it being ok as long as it's within X # of parameters. As posted above, free porn = free porn = free porn

Let me ask you this: can you think of anything that has (or would) negatively effected your business model that you had (or would) supported/endorsed?

I've always been opposed to free porn, but I don't live in a cave so I've adapted. I didn't vote, because it's none of my business, and it wouldn't make any difference anyways.
I disagree with it as a business model, I think it's short sighted, but I said the same thing about TGP's years ago. I was wrong then, I may be wrong now.
Live and let live, if I have to adapt I'll do my damndest to do so, right now I'm not particularly worried.
The sky always sems to be falling in this biz, I've gotten somewhat immune to worrying.
