I think if you have what people that buy porn want and dont fuck them. You will keep making a living til governments start filtering us all off the net because of the tubefest that's coming. I think we are losing the middle of the roaders that used to pay but now there is a easy way to get a free fix.They are gone.
I dont understand you keep talking about free is the way its going but you say you are having banner months. That means people buy your product in large numbers. Dont believe the hype of free is the answer.

I don't think free is the way to go. But I'm very aware that things are being pushed towards free. So I'm adapting and changing our business model to accommodate for that and that has led to us improving our product. We are working harder than ever and producing and delivering a better product yet still charging the same cost. So again there is the push towards free in action. We are not offering Twistys for free but every month that goes by our members enjoy more than ever before.
Bandwidth is a huge example of that. We are able to make more now than 2 years ago because bandwidth has come down so much it's allowing us to do things that never before were possible. We can burn 4 and 5 times the bandwidth that we did 2 years ago for the same price. If used properly that is a huge advantage to building and increasing business.
I won't lie. Prior to September we weren't having banner months. I would say Spring and summer were somewhat rough for us. Our sales and revenue were completely flat lined. When we saw that we decided to dig deeper and really analyze our company and where the industry is and where it is going. We worked very hard to reposition ourselves and try to adapt to the new reality our industry is faced with. As a result we've had back to back record sales, rebills and revenue months in November and December.
