Things will have to change!

So after 10 years of Internet porn the customer now chooses to not pay for it or not look at it at all?
Well he's still looking at it we can see that by the stats.
He's choosing not to buy it. Because p2P and tubes are a better option than many paysites?
So who's to blame for that?
The economy is the last few months and the decline was before then. You guys are the best at kidding yourselves.
Pleasureplays is spot on.

of course. how did it get to become a collection of 2000 movies to begin with?? why didn't it stop at 5 movies?
because you always want the best/newest stuff... and newer/better stuff is always being produced and people are very willing to keep paying for it.

It gets to be a collection of 2000 movies because each one is different in some way. Now imagine it was 10 scenes performed by 500 different bad actors in 500 different locations. You have to keep giving the "the best/newest stuff" you can to a repeat buyer. Or he stops repeating. Who has ever stopped watching TV soaps or certain actors because they keep repeating the same storyline or character?
That's professionals on real budgets and still you stopped watching it. The porn consumer has stopped buying from a lot of you because Tube sites are better for him than your product. You need to make your product fit his needs better. And don't forget you have a bigger budget to play with. If you don't think it can be done close the door on the way out.
Spot on Rorschach.

It seems like the subscription billing model is the problem, not the surfeit of content itself. There's just no point in paying $30 a month for a shitty site where the surfer is only really interested in one or two scenes or models. If you can get enough free members at a VOD site you can make barrels of money, it's not that people aren't buying overall... It's that their purchasing habits have changed.

The problem is we still think he should pay $30 so we can give half of it to get him to the door.
The business is not dead, it will not go to free content to support advertising. It will be dead for some though.
