Agreed. I have a thousand DVDs, most good films made on real budgets by people who know what they're doing. Very few have I watched more than once. Porn is even more disposable.

answer will be: why pay when we get it for free, that simple lol. Yes, if a surfer looks at a movie gallery, he will probably see if he could find it on a tube or a torrent & if he cant find it he will probably join that paysite.
Then we have to make it worth his while to join.

Charge him by the day, at a price he will pay, plus better speed and quality image, maybe have a live web cam girl or girls inside the site to chat to members and put on free shows. All this can be done and we are at fault for not doing it. Just one thing stops us.

Could a site with 100 members joining a day afford it?

100 x $30 = $3,000 a day.

Less 15% processing, 10% server, 10% office admin and 10% content. Leaves 55% or $1650 a day. And yes my figures are probably over the top. So this site could afford to give the members a much better deal. Now why don't we?

You got it. we spend 60% of our turnover, as an industry, getting surfers to the tour.

OK my figures are guessing and general. But they illustrate the biggest problem, we value the guy passing through more than the guy stopping and buying. We must value him more because we spend more time and money on him.
