I came across to a well known Tube site sharing several full videos of a producer…thought was done illegally until i realised the poster is the producer himself… He has been posting several FULL recent videos of his own production.Now i understand teaser and promo are ok but not FULL movie averaging 20 mins!!!
I dont approve this technique so I stopped promoting that program , what do you guys think about this?
I hope this wont become a common practise as it will kill affiliates, dont you think?

This has been going on since the beginning of time. Do you think AVS companies relied solely on affiliates to build their sites? It’s no different than the scenario you’re describing.

The best way to beat this kind of thing is to give your blogs personality, give people a reason to keep visiting them.

I agree 100%.

The biggest shift from old to new is originality on the part of the freesite / blog owner. Its what makes your site a destination, and then you can worry about sending links out. People dont need free sites or promo content to find porn, and access to the content as a sales lever is receding from the business model. What its about today for producers is branding and quality. As a re-seller you should follow that model.

Case in point for me is Gay Daily Hot, I come back not for the porn offerings, but to get titillated watching Jasun take his shirt off and offer up pseudo big-bro advice to his viewership. He intersperses his promotional offerings with personal likes of music, products and antiucdicdotes about whats new in his life, what hes shooting, his dogs, adventures in veganism, etc… Obviously he keeps on brand and whatnot, but its something that I cant get anywhere else, and that puts his blog over and above anyone who’s looking to only ‘tease n send’ someone through the links rabbit hole.

I don’t quite see it as the end but means a new way affiliates need to work possibly. I still think affiliates are an important part of the whole picture.

I think it may be a bit melodramatic to announce the end of affiliate marketing just because someone posts a few full videos on his tube site.

Here at TwinkPay we just switched to NATS because we think affiliate marketing has a good future. It just part of a whole array of marketing tools available.
