This is what tube sites are doing that offer anything other than teaser clips. Period.

They are taking hundreds of millions of dollars out of membership sales across the board in order to make just a few sales.

There are a ton of people that can get off just fine on "Tube Quality" full length vids. (licensed or not)

These guys would have bought a membership somewhere.

Not any more.

Those days are over with for them.

Now the connoisseur that needs to get off on a certain niche or even micro niche, yes they might buy something. This is who we (the membership sites) are making money on now.

But all those other generic buyers that used to sign up to different sites in order to get full movie downloads, we are losing those sales right now. Day by day.

Congrats to all the winners!
