You don't realize that alienating even 10-20% of your customers will seriously hurt your business? You don't know that download sites like Rapidshare and Megaupload became popular around the same time as tube sites, and that a very large part of the popularity in question comes from BEING FREE? You don't see the fact that many tubes offer paid memberships which allow downloads as an indication that many people actually do want downloads?
It's no wonder that you're such a fucking failure. You're utterly clueless 
On topic:
Ideally, a paid site will offer low quality streaming, high quality streaming, low quality downloadable and high quality downloadable. Different customers have different needs, and fulfilling the most common needs will help increase customer satisfaction, thereby increasing retention rates. |
While Im not a huge fan of Jon, in this case he is 100% correct. What you are saying if I can use an analogy is similar to this.
Game companies should continue to produce games compatible with low resolution, underpowered cpus, and low amounts of ram. Otherwise you are alienating a bunch of people who won't be able to play the game, so we should aim our quality and standards to the lowest common denominator. Makes perfect sense afterall right? Aim your marketing and standards at people who can't afford a 55.00 a month broadband bill, or a 400.00 emachine from walmart. BRILLIANT!
Its probably why DTV and comcast fight back and forth to see who can provide more HD channels, you know to go after that non hd 99.00 sylvania tv from 97 users. Pip pip and Tut tut and all that.
