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.

Looks like there has been a broadstroke applied to the term Tube.
Id deliniate them this way.
Paid Tube
Legal Tube
Thieving Tube
