However, as ratios fall and porn consumers in general realize everything can be had for free, do you think the tube model will survive? Their operational costs are quite high because of high bandwidth needs.
I think we will see a decline in signups to paysites as a whole from tube sites. Porn will become the product we use to sell other products, like dating, cam sites etc. wow, it's already happening? lol. Another thing that amuses me greatly is how some people are saying dating sites are on the way out. LOL. They have nto done their research very well if they think this. During economic bad times people seek relationships more than ever.
