What Are you Top Concerns with Tube Sites?

RawAlex · 10-28-2008

Gonzo, the (pay) tubes offering a 1 time membership can do it because they have taken the biggest expenses of the business (buying, encoding, tagging, sorting, and maintaining content) and forked that over to the user who is paying. The only ongoing expense is hosting / bandwidth, and they all run more than enough advertising and such to cover that, plus I can imagine they aren't shy to push their members onto cross sales and such.

If I could run a paysite with all the income and none of the expenses, and still be able to charge a going rate for it, then yeah, I would be dumb not to. Unless of course I was putting myself at legal risk for doing it.
