And here is the real problem.

If "31 flavors then it isn't a sample anymore" why are we selling a months supply of full tubs?

If our customer is getting off to a few samples, or full scenes, why don't we change?

Why do some sites try to trick the customer into buying membership to loads more sites?

Why do some sites have 30 to 50 scenes shot by the same person, the same way, maybe the same girl and insist he buys a months membership?

We have changed, how many other sites have?

Yes I agree we have to adapt, but so far the only adaptation I see from this industry is to open a Tube site. That's not adapting in the true sense of the word.

But things might change.

http://www.dmnews.com/Yahoo-profits-down-78-cuts-5-of-work-force/article/131088/Yahoo has reported a 78% drop in profits in the first quarter of 2009 to $118.7 million, compared to $536.8 million in the first quarter of last year. Yahoo also is cutting more than 600 jobs, 5% of its worldwide work force.

Will Internet advertising be the cash cow it was?
