People didn't/don't go to porn shops because of the stigma..
Basically what you are saying is no matter what the scenario is only ??% of the surfers will pay for porn whether it is free or not.
The people who are atm Free Porn Enthusiasts would just never look at porn?
That is really hard to believe..

Sure but not a 1 for 1 ratio. You can't say for every 100 people looking at porn on the internet that's 100 more customers for the porn shops.
|
Definitely not 1to1.. The porn shops and the movie theaters have to deal with lack of privacy and negative stigma..
People also don't like having porn in the house as someone can easily find it.. And its still considered taboo to own porn..
Since internet porn has become popular they have seen a decrease in business... Magazine sales and DVD sales have done nothing but drop..
This is not opinion it's fact..

the point is many people are only getting the Big Mac because its free, they have no interest in ever PAYING for one.
|
Do they have no interest in paying for a BigMac because they know if they wait a month McDonalds will run a promo and get one for free?
Do they have no interest in paying for a BigMac because they don't enjoy it all that much?
Do they have no interest in paying for a BigMac because they can't afford it?
Why?
Are you 100% positive they will NEVER give in to temptation?
You can't assume these things..

And goes stale just as fast. Why are so mnay new pornos being made? Why do people demand new content from the same girls or demand new girls? Is there a point in a girl being in 500 scenes? Isn't one scene good enough? It's some dick in her pussy or ass. Isn't it all the same? So why make more? Why aren't guys satisfied with watching the same scene over and over again? Pretty much there had been enough porn content made by 1994 to last any guy a lifetime. So why make more?
|
The reason soo much porn is produced is for many different reasons...
Guys do get bored fast. But...
You can't eat a big mac more than once.
And if the guy/girl has to they will watch the same video over and over and over and over. Even if they don't have to.. They might just like it..

And you can't upsell other stuff on a tube site?
|
The Illegal Tube Site is not McDonalds the Paysite is McDonalds and the paysite sells it's porn content, it's crosssales and it's upsells..
If people aren't going to the paysite the paysite isn't selling it's content, upsells or crosssales..
McDonalds does those coupons to get people into THEIR restaurant to buy THEIR products or THEIR upsells.
Programs give a little bit of their free content to TGPs/Legal Tubes to get people to go to THEIR paysite so they can sell THEIR products..
Illegal tube sites give away free content to get people to their site to buy products from a variety of companies.
But not necessarily the product of the company that is having their product given away for free..
It'd be like 7eleven stores stealing and then giving away free McDonalds (not coupons) to get people to come in and buy Magazines, Gum, Cigarettes.. and maybe they might want more McDonalds' products that the 7eleven store doesn't have so they will go to McDonalds to get it... *IF* they know it is a McDonalds product and know where a McDonalds is located..
But the majority of people are happy with the McDonalds' products from the 7eleven store or may never know it is a McDonalds product... so they will never go to a McDonalds.. And McDonalds will never be able to sell it's products..
Illegal tube sites are similar to legal tube sites in that sometimes the free content benefits the right sponsor and some times it doesn't..
But on a legal tube site the sponsor has a better chance of benefiting from giving away their free content..
So that would be like McDonalds giving 7eleven stores a very small sample of it's food to give away to it's customers with a flyer attached.

Actually they have. I've used them and it's not really germain to my point.
Yet they still do it form time to time? Hmmm.

They may on the RARE occasion offer a free sandwich deal.. But they don't run it for 365 days a year, every year, with no limit on how many times a customer can use the coupon.

and when TPGS/MGP/Free sites came out the same people used the tube argument for them too. Funny how TGPs are ok now but when they were new they were the death of people paying for porn because they gave away to much content.
|
TGPs and MGPs followed rules set by programs.
I have a lot of Surfers that don't even realize TGPs are promotion.. They think it's just cool webmasters putting up free porn.. And they are satisfied with all the free galleries never needing to sign up to a paysite..
I personally believe TGPs to be a problem.. It's the amount of free content on them that makes them the problem... A surfer really can get off every day by just visiting their favorite TGP/MGP..
Just like all tube sites legal or illegal..

The fact is the just about every tube site has their movies recorded at around a 400-500 kbps bit rate which frankly sucks. Just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. just like my free Big Mac analogy. Trying to play a scene on my 22 inch monitor sucks let alone trying to play it on a huge HDTV. Some people are in fact willing to pay for higher quality. And perhaps that's the type of customers you should be worried about instead of trying to force freeloaders to become purchasers which will never happen.

Most people don't need a Kobe beef burger they are very happy with the McDonalds burger..
People HAVE to eat. They aren't going to starve because the food isn't free.. Or because it's not Gourmet..
It's almost 4am I don't know if any of that made sense.
