Not trying to single you out Airek, but I'm quoting you because what you're saying is something I hear alot and I think it's hogwash.
People don't have a "budget" for porn for crying out loud. It's an impulse purchase, in most cases it costs $3 or so, and no matter what the price of gas or the price of milk or whatever a guy with a hardon who wants to see the full version of the video he just watched a sample of is gonna signup.
I doubt anyone starts their porn surfing evening thinking "I'm going to find a site to join"...they think "I'm gonna go to thehun or worldsex (or wherever they go) and find some stroke material"..then they find something they really like that they want to see more of, and all they see on the signup page is the $2.95 trial....so they say "what the fuck" and signup.
That's how it's always been IMO.
Honestly, there is alot of data to suggest that our business actually gets better when more people are unemployed, or during the holidays...because they need the release...or they're home all day because they're not working, or they're lonely during the holidays, etc etc.
