the list could go on and on and on and on and it wouldn't change anyone's mind because this is about laying blame for failure where it doesn't belong.
That is certainly true, lots of surfers are better educated, and they might been either burned by the pornsites or they are just annoyed when seeing the same stuff offered as in the past. However, in a hypothetical scenario of no free porn (or: MUCH less free porn) a lot of people who are free porn surfers now woule be forced to pay again.

You can't deny that some surfers are happy with what they are being offered now for free, but would sign up to pornsites if the content wasn't available for free. Discussing this endlessly might be pointless because the current situation is not likely to change, but I don't see anything wrong in acknowledging it.

I'm also not sure if the reality sites we are seeing today can be considered shitty, in my opinion they offer actually a great value to the surfer, as opposed to other, more traditional sources of porn. You can get access for $30 (or even less) per month to all reality sites and all the episodes of a big program, is that really bad pricing, or is the quality bad?
