What do you think of this idea?

I was just thinking, what if we put into the minds of the surfers that tubes are bad?

Like, on all websites yours, mine, putting about "Tubes are the most common way to get your comptuer infected with virus'"

If something like this was put onto all tgps, blogs, paysites, like a common tactic to fight tubes

What do you think? I think if some big names in the industry started this, I would willingly and wantingly follow their lead and add the text on all my sites

Anyone have thoughts???

What made me think of this, my friend talking about how he uses xvideos tube, and i say "too bad you dont know all tubes put virus on your computer"

and he's like "oh fuck, i didnt know that i will stop using tubes then"

then i said "no no, i'm just kidding, but i should spread that rumor"

proof, normal everyday surfers wouldnt know better, and to be safe may stop using tubes???

Hello J,

this is a very good idea, I suppose.

I know, that there is 4 sure maleware out there on adult sites.
It is put on these sites from other peoples.
And paysite-owners take care of their sites.
But often tubes run on auto-pilot.
There nobody cares 4 them.
I had this occurance @times already.

Try this way, go 4 it !

Big bump 4 Your idea !

I want these tubes to vanish.
They destroy my biz.

Getting that message in front of enough eyes to make any significant difference is the problem. Maybe HaXXors all the majors tubes at the same time?

Moreover... how long till some smart user understands our "game" and starts spreading the word that we hate tube sites because they give free porn?

Don't know... before even considering this, let's consider the fact that not all users are like the one you wrote about

It might help a little in the short term, but I think long term they won't believe it because Youtube and DailyMotion are the same style so I think they'll call 'bullshit'

[jscott]

yea I guess you're probably right, it was more a hypothetical question i guess
i just really am frustrated sometimes and think of shit like this lol

Rescue in sight ?

Yesterday I read from a webmaster, who owns some tubes and paysites.
He complaint very much, that the tubes don't bring money.
These were average tubes, not especially bad ones, I have taken a look at them.
I suppose that many tubes were buildt by "normal" people, not by "global players" and also don't earn a money.

Perhaps soon most of the tubes will be done and gone again...
I hope this !

I would love this!

Yes, even the tubes with stolen content a lot of times still have a difficult time breaking even with promoting dating/cam sites

My friend runs a a pretty decent size tube, 15k alexa, he says he barely makes any money
