This is how much some "experts" know their job.

A site that is titled "Recently 18" has a porn star who is long past 18 and done enough porn to buy property and get into the rental business as the first girl I see. Then the next page has her as a banner in fishnet stockings. I stopped looking because clearly the site owner is not as expert as he thinks he is.
And it's sites like these that have led to members turning away from buying porn.
So what can we do to combat this?
Keep making exclusive porn. But make sure you buy from people able to shoot the right product and not the right price. Forget about a crisp clear image, it is secondary to the porn. Make sure the shooter knows what he's doing, he controls the models, they put out a great scene and the result after watching it, is the member wants to see the next one. AND make sure the next one is not a repeat just a different girl. No one wants 30 days in a site with one scene acted out by 30 girls or the same girl 30 times. Porn = Reality. Be it amateur or Playboy it has to be real.
And build the non exclusive market as filler and variation to the main theme. We will never shoot as well as a custom shooter with the right skills on the right budget, but we add bulk, selection and variety to a site and that's a big draw of Tubes. Why pay $30 recurring for a site with 50 videos shot by the same guy when you can get a site with 5,000 shot by different guys for free? You need to bulk up and vary a sites content to retain.
Give members dating and live web cam content for free. Hit the Tube site backers where it hurts, in their pockets. Let's have some free shows inside the site, let's have dating site content, all with upsales at a much lower price that the Tube backers. Hit the backers in their pocket and they can't afford to advertise on the sites taking the customers.
If anyone has any better ideas I'm very willing to listen as I'm sure many others are. Some will tell you there is no solution, well none they can think of and none that does not involve Government legislation to save us.
But those with no solution will still flame those with one. All be it a slim one.
