If you think that offering 5+ minutes of a video is profitable then we will see you on the for sale block.
Alpha Red is gone...no where to host your bullshit.

Again, you are thinking like a web business guy. Think of it as a surfer, what do they see? If you present the clips in a certain manner, or you accept user submits, or whatever, then there is potential that you have clips bigger than 2 minutes. Heck, some sponsors are putting out 3 minute clips at this point. Throw in a few purchased clips that are longer, accept some user submits, and off you go. Like many sites, you can put up a 5 clip or 10 clip per day deal and block most people out.
From the business side, many of the tube sites are now predicated on getting the punter to sign up "for free" or for a "special download priority pass" or whatever, so either collecting money up front, or cross selling the "free" signup until the guy's credit card goes into shock. Plus many of them are stacked with ads, and sites like megarotic basically force click every viewer to adult friend finder (their play button triggers a new windows with AFF in it).
So yeah, the absolute cheapest bandwidth provider has left the building, but there is plenty more cheap bandwidth around if you look for it.
