I think the original article from Google was about thin affiliate content in general and tubes were just one example. It impacts free sites, galleries, sblogs in the same way. In general terms Google raised the bar for content to advertising ratio. In the old days we had to write 10 to 50 words of text for an outbound link. These days we need much more content to compensate for posting links.
