Would like to add to the statement I made above
There will always be those who are willing to pay (and some who will overpay) for a product or service, key component being perceived value to the buyer (think flying first class)
and again the other side of that coin being there are those who will not pay, especially when they feel enough product/materail is available for free
As for TGP dying out - they are like the gold prospectors working a 4 inch sleuth
Not much return on the investment but with cheap BW the only cost is time and those playing TGP don't have a better use of their time for generating revenues
Is it profitable for the program owner to host the galleries
Would say marginally so for the time being - if it wasn't there would not be as many hosted galleries as we see offered

Hosted galleries are simply another way to get surfers viewing your content and banners, working them to a signup.
Whoever is not offering hosted galleries is simply missing out on a lot of potential traffic.
