I can only think of a handful of sites that I'd consider truly unique (not to say there's not more...just in my experience). For example - MukisKitchen.com
So very very true. There are many sites claiming to have "unique" and it's just a repeat of content on lots of other sites. Plus a lot of these site I imagine could suffer from having one or two scenes and only changing the girls in the scenes. Same formula repeated over and over. Getting very boring after a month.

We have been putting money and efforts into marketing for years and look where it got us. The biggest mistake was we marketed to affiliates first and often built sites according to their needs. The customer came second on the belief that we could always win if we sent enough traffic. WHOOPS!!!!!

The truth is hard to swallow because many the things we told ourselves over the last 10 years have proven to be false. Or customers would not be flocking to Tubes. They don't have exclusive content, don't spend a fortune marketing and definitely don't go HD. Tubes take our customers because we have refused to adapt and improve what we sell.

Maybe Kink.com should of thought "WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE THE SITES MORE ATTRACTIVE TO CUSTOMERS" before they thought of cutting prices. If they cannot think of how to improve their sites to make them a better product, that tells you a lot.

Live Web Cam girls.
Live shows.
Cut price membership to dating sites.
Cut price membership to live web cam sites.
More varied content that is unique and well shot.

While paysites remain as just a place to download videos they will never compete with Tubes.

And yes I do have a site with unique content. LOL
