Imagine, even a 40% reduction in free porn would mean higher bottom lines for ALL of us... and more would save the industry from becoming little more than an advertising medium. I see all these tube sites and wonder why we can't just slap a processor in there, and for the first time we'd actually be offering surfers a good members area but for some reason they're fucking FREE!

Pretty soon (if we're not there already, I suspect we're close) the ONLY way to make money off sites will be selling advertising, and the question there is to WHO? cause noones got any fucking money anymore..
Agreed. The porn industry would be a much more wealthier business if consumers HAD to pay. But it's not going to happen very fast. But with the slowdown will the free sites survive with so many unable to pay?

This industry is a bunch of cut throat losers that'd sell porn to kids in a second if it'll help beat the competition.
Yo made my point for me.

I imagine the gov's will band together slowly and block porn all together, unless some of us ( majority ) do something to get it all under control.

I don't understand what makes us all think that free shit will make us more money.
I remember the days where you had to search and search and search for porn, and I'd pay for it after getting frustrated enough.. Today, I jerk off at tube8 and that's not changing till it's gone
It makes the person putting the sites up richer and they don't give a fuck about the rest of us. That has been the ethic of this industry long before Tubes arrived. We have been fucking ourselves for years by fucking the consumer.

Sadly our surfers are doing the same, and the majority of us are in here saying it's not happening "Content is King" " find good content and they'll pay" are you guys BLIND? that good content is ALL over the fucking tubes .. such a heap of bullshit.
Sorry but I don't see a lot of good content on Tube sites. I see cloned porn scenes that are rarely worth paying for. If that's all it takes to get the surfer off then we are really in trouble.
