If I am just an average surfer and I go to this site, what motivation to I have to buy anything? I am getting a ton of free porn right here. Sure you can sell me dating and cam sites and I might be interested in those, but it is going to be very difficult to sell me a membership to a paysite.

I know people do join cam and dating sites from tubes and some may even sell a few memberships to paysites, but when you give away that amount of content you need a very large audience because most won't buy anything then the question becomes, "Are those that are buying stuff making me enough money to pay for/offset the cost of the 99.9% that are not?"
