There is no reason for the consumer to whip out the credit card for porn anymore. Why should they? everything is free!
Wake up and run your business like a business before it's too late. Take a lesson or two from the corporate world.
This business is packed to the gills with short sighted people (tube site operators that allow user uploads, torrents, forced cross sales, hidden cross sales etc..) that will either piss off the customer so they don't return or continue to give away free long length videos to the masses in hopes of gaining a few extra sales to cams/dating sites at the expense of the industry. In essence..they are willing to kill off any chance business longevity for a quick buck. Why would anybody pay for it if you can get it free?
Because the simpletons refuse to look past the next billing cycle, the only fix is to be
self regulation possibly through some kind of an elected council and a return to censored tours/previews of old.
But...there would always be the cheaters. They would have to be shunned and nobody should work with them. Don't sell them content, hosting, etc..
Unfortunately this biz can't or won't do it. It is doomed to let greed and continued stupidity overrule common sense and ultimately this biz will consume itself. No government interaction needed.
I'm done venting....carry on.
