Not a very clever way to try and get some traffic for yourself there idiot.
Thing is, I couldn't sell that shit you're slinging to someone who has never seen porn before, much less anyone who has seen decent porn.
A true test for the sake of testing would have been 100% revshare, not 70%. Besides, Choker (or anyone else with a decent amount of traffic) will look at your site and know off the bat it won't convert or retain.
Also, I can't ever recall ANYONE with half a brain saying your stuff was saturated. We said non exclusive in general was oversaturated, just because 100 or 1000 paysites had it instead of just one....something you always took exception to (because you were trying to sell content), but I've never heard anyone with an IQ over 100 say "That Paul Markham stuff is everywhere, it's so saturated"

This last part is so wrong it displays the level of knowledge you have of this business.
Actually people have said it about my content, so that was your first mistake. But here's your biggest one and unlike you I will explain why you are wrong in the hope you learn. Yes I'm shooting for the stars but others might find it interest.
These are general prices for custom work and yes there are people who pay more and people who pay less. The prices are for a set and video
Solo girl = $300
Lesbian = $1,000
Hardcore BG = $2.000
In a major niche like Teens, Milf, Big Tits, etc there are anything from 1500 to 2,000+ sites. You can correct these numbers if you like.
The problem today and for a long time has been the customers are not signing up to sites after site, a months membership would mean most would join 12 sites a year. Some more and some less. And please don't tell me they sign up to 20 sites or more unless you have some logic to why. But the problem is their attention span, if the log in and download the entire site they will not be joining another for a long time. The business would not be in the state it is if they were.
So, these are the numbers you have to sell a scene to put it on 10% of the "Teen" sites on the Net. They would have to sell 200 times, or go on two hundred sites.
Solo Girl scene @ $40 x 200 = $8,000.
So why do custom shooters sell it for $300? Even 20 sales would make $800, which is about right.
Now if you sell is 200 times for $2 you still make $400, which is better than $300. And you still OWN the content. If you buy it for $2 you should expect it to be saturated.
So why do so many good shooters like Max Candy shoot custom?
Because non exclusive does not sell as well as people have been lying about for years. Be it me or a lot of others. The entire concept of "saturated" was sold to make affiliates think it was special. It's not.
As for
Astral Blue converting and retaining I have absolutely no idea what you base your assumptions on. Maybe you could tell us. It does convert and it does retain. Because it appeals mostly to men over 40, they don't like Torrents, it's a unique mix they can't get anywhere else. If that's wrong some links to a site with 80s/90s videos shot in the UK would be nice.
The problem with this business is too many thought "exclusive" was the key and then produced the crap at cut prices that was on 100s of other sites. Now everyone is blaming Tubes, Torrent or what ever for the customers not buying. If the only avenue you have to sell is forcing customers to buy you are in the wrong.
100% rev share, will put it to Choker when he contacts me. Which is not likely. He was spamming his traffic and we all know that.
