From what I hear, they operate under the subscription, advertising support, and transaction models. Most tube sites have an option to subscribe to their premium service. The tube sites also have a lot of advertisements for websites such as "the f***book of sex. Finally they are usually affiliated with sites like Br***ers, that pay them a percentage of the fees received from the tube site's referrals. Not to mention the ad's contained in the free videos themselves.

"what you hear" sounds about right... but you see the problem I'm suggesting in that biz model- all their ads are for some flavor of pay-porn... when the ad-sponsored tube sites themselves are already giving away a seemingly bottomless amount of it, long videos categorized meticulously, for free already. Where's the "tease" to inspire the surfer to pay for "more of" what they can already marinate themselves in endlessly, for free?

Hey maybe my tightwad perspective makes it impossible for me to believe that the biz model does work profitably for all parties, I just don't know... be curious to see the cash flow/expense numbers behind the scenes.
