Do you think TGPs serve a useful purpose...

Vick, I agree, if we could do it all over again, then we should have slamed every content stealing TGP with major lawsuites, when it began, however we did not, and today they have grown to a point, where they can survive at their own hands.

We need to think how we can stop or slow down the free content give away... I think hosted galleries was the first step, because now sponsors are working direct with the TGPs/MGPs, which means that TGPs/MGPs accept more at the galleries, because they get paid - ex. I see more and better ads on hosted galleries vs. old submited galleries...

Next step will be getting focus on the content, ex. don´t give the cumshot/moneyshot away (there is a reason its called the moneyshot), stop over usage of single video, different videos with shorter play time is better (average user only spend minutes per day on porn sites, not hours, so 1-5 mins of video on a single gallery is a big % of his daily need... make him visit 10 galleries instead of 1 to get the same amount of playtime = 10 * ads + videos will be too short for him to get into "the zone" ;-))

If the TGPs/MGPs do not like this, then I think many sponsors will be ready to accept the modified version of an old saying:

"If you can´t join them - beat them" ;-))
