you sort of make it sound like TGPs should be a support group for the sponsors and paysites, we exist to promote you and we should loosen up a bit so you will make more money..thats not how i view it....if i have to choose between keeping the surfer happy or a paysite owner happy, the surfer wins everytime...

I was being diplomatic
I would like to talk $$$$$, but I have found that TGPs are not tuned to the same business frequency as paysites, so we often misunderstand each other and our motives. But communication helps us understand each other :-)
My point is exactly that TGPs should not change their ideology, because of a single paysite, but because it will strengthen the TGPs... it will mean more target and arousing content/ads for TGPs, bringing more quality bookmarks, but also it brings more money to the TGP and paysite, because the surfer is exposed to more and better products. Sure there will also be benafits for paysites, but thats the idea behind paysites - that people pay to watch the content = $$$$$$ (money is not bad)
The problem for TGPs who want to make their money on pills, dvds etc., but not on content is that paysites will eventual start making their own TGPs to keep the surfer for as long as possible, or trade him with other sponsorīs galleries, tgps etc. Sponsors like BangBros, Pornkings etc. have already started their TGPs, but what will happende when 100s of other sponsors get the same idea, and start making a business out of TGPs?
Which TGP model will have the best survival chances?
- The version with focus on free
- The version with focus on marketing
