You think they possibly make $$$ from ads or something?

Hell, how does the original youtube pay the bills?
As a tightwad, I never understood the viability of banner ads either. Once in a blue moon I click one by accident, and X it out immediately. At some point, the banner ads need to result in surfers opening their wallets, greasing the whole slick click-through-ad commerce machine. People who click on them, then buy the product, are just a different sort of consumer than I; I can't relate to how they think, nor they to how I think & make buying decisions...

The economics of gootube have always mystified me too- the server space, the bandwidth... all for ad revenue? Are there really hoards of well trained consumers clicking the banner ads & buying the shwag, enough that the whole endeavor is profitable for everyone? But the porn tube sites, they're giving away all the commercially produced wank-fodder for free I've heard [kof kof], so they mystify me even more! I can't believe the wanking hoards are saying in sufficient numbers, "okay enough of the free stuff, I should be a good sport and join these sites whose material I've already all seen for free.." Maybe I'm wrong and that's exactly what they are doing, just seems implausible, all considered. Like I suggest in the OP, I suspect there's some 'lluminati/tavistock/satanic/social-engineering involved in the phenomenon somewhere.
