If you have unique content and know you niche you don't really need the trials (unless there are other companies doing the same and they under cut you by offering trials). However you won't get nearly as many affiliates pushing your sites....

Agree 100% and have said so consistently for years.
OK sites who do have great content, shot by great shooters who knew their niche and could direct models and on a budget that allows for great porn to be produced are still feeling the pinch. As a market we have lost most of the guys who signed up to jerk off to one scene, no matter how good it is. And until we shut down the Tubes they will stay lost.
However the problem for most sites is they were not and still are not prepared to pay what it costs to produce the level of porn Kinks, Twistys, Sapphic and more produce. Their attitude was and still is "What's your best price."
It's easy to say
"provide a high end, exclusive product then customers will buy" and even though most know it, few will pay for it. You should be sitting next to me when I get asked to produce content like, for instance, Party Hardcore and the buyer falls off his chair.
Do you think content providers are responsible for the low prices of content or the people who buy it?
polish_aristocrat did that make a point?
