With sponsors going to freehosted galleries, the middleman is slowly being squeezed out. With submitters getting desperate to make anything off the less than stellar traffic, they're adding dialers, auto-installs, etc. and onwers are getting tired of it, so everyoine is going to partner accounts and freehosted galleries. With TGP traffic also dwindling in quality, they've all gone to pre-paid spots to make up for the lost income from banner ads (although they tend to still have plenty of those too).
It's interesting watching everything evolve.
