But is it really the case yet that the surfer is the customer of the adult business?

This is one of the problems. Thousands of people have content, OK so a lot of them don't have a lot. So let's say 100 people have legal content and lots of it. So why aren't they sticking up legal tube sites and living off the advertising?
Because we built a business where most of us need to spend $15 to get a guy to spend $30.
Figures to illustrate a point. A few have traffic and found it did work and they are making it tough for the rest of us. Few of the sites without traffic are finding all they have to do is put up free porn to get traffic.
Maybe soon Tubes will be doing traffic trading to get traffic.
There are many reasons this is not working and most of the examples given are like comparing chalk and cheese. Because a sales method works selling chalk does not mean it will work selling cheese.
